I had one other question about how you got Express to Work with CR. I'm just doing some research to see if a VB / CR solution will work for our company. So I DL CR Developer XI release 2 trial and VB 2005 Express and have been hitting my head against a wall. I can't seem to add the CrystalDecisions references, or have the CrystalReportViewer control in studio. Did you have to install them manually. I think after I get that figured out I'll be good to go, any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty new to this VB Studio too. But I'm tired of programming in Access John.
