Crystal Rep't -- using existing recordset as data source

I am brand new to Crystal Reports. I am using VB6 and CR 6.0. I have already
created a connection and populated recordset(which uses a complex join) in my VB6 project. I want to use the existing recordset as the data source for
the report, and then manually bind the report's controls to the recordset fields. Is this possible, and how do I do it?

Thanks,
John

hi ,

I can only partially answer your question ie the part of binding a report to a recordset , the other part of inserting the fields into the report well , i too am looking for the answer (look under MISC i have posted the question ) .

to answer the 1st part -

use the API call CreateReportOnRuntimeDS ( recordset , new report path , new fielddef.txt path , overwrite? , launch designer )
this is crystal 7.0
I don't have 6
