guys have you tried componentone (VS View Reporting)?

i tried that one, i posted it earlier, i just used vsprinter... very nice and very lite
the only downside is, its manual coding, like give the x,y coordinates for the positioning of the text

Data Environment ug Data Reports maayong i-paris kung VB6 ang gamit
built-in na sa ubang installer.

built-in pero daghan sd limitations ang data environment
pero for basic reports ok ra sd xa

well actually, crystal reports could handle many data source, daghan man xa built-in na connection
pwede xml, ado, mssqsl, mysql, odbc... etc

crystal and vb6 i ok, just need to call crystal reports as a application

complex queries? if you mean inner joind etc... yeah, it can handle it, you can even have multiple queries if you like it, and you can program crystal reports within the reports, handling conditional statements and etc.

Naa tutorial kong usa-on pag himo ug complex queries sa Crystal Reports without using temporary tables? thanks

I don't think views will work in MSAccess database, but only in MySQL or MSSql

Thanks for the reply.

bro,by the way its not views in ms access... its called queries
but when connecting crystal reports with access. queries are considered as views

ahh dats what you want diay
anyway you can change the data source of crystal reports dynamically (during runtime)
you could create a recordset in vb6 then set it as the datasource of the crystal report

one issue though,

when you create a crystal reports you actually design it from a datasource,
so create a dummy table just 4 crystal, like a xml fle just to design the report
then during runtime change the datasource to your custom query
