Hi,
I have again questions about Crystal Reports that I didn't have any answer :

With VB6, I can use Crystal Reports 4.5.
If I want to use an earlier version, I suppose I have to buy it. What does the recent versions permit to do that the 4.5 does not ?

I have seen that I can make the link with the database inside the .rpt file rather than with a data control in VB6. Which is the best solution ?

Actually, I can't use an ADO Data Control with the Crystal Report Control. It only accepts a classic Data Control. Is it normal ?

Thanks for all,
Jeremie

It would take too much time here to list all the
improvements of crystal reports ver 8 to ver 4.5.
try their website at

you should be able to just buy an upgrade from 4.5 to 8.5
