Hai Thanks 4 ur Reply. What am i really expecting means I have a 3tier application. Written a function for report generation. in BL. In GUI am calling the BL's function and passing the Report's object. Then i need to display the report. In BL function am set one Form object and report viewer class object. Also setting one report document object. Here the report document object eg. crd crd.Load(); calling time i need to pass the GUI's report object then need to load that report is it possible? Now i am passing the entire path in Load method then work it perfectly. But in application the report path is changed then not working. Its not for .exe if .exe then work it. At the developing time also i need. Thanks in advance.

Dear Yes You can load Crystal Report in a Crystal Report Viewer without using the name of the report and report path. To do so create an object of Crystal Report. Write the following code in Form1_Load( ) event handler Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim adapter As New DataSet1TableAdapters.StudentTableAdapter Dim dt As DataTable = adapter.GetStudents() Dim report As New CrystalReport1 report.SetDataSource(dt) CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report End Sub Thanks Happy Coding From : r_deopura@rediffmail.com
