I am trying to add the Crystal Reports 11 ActiveX Viewer to my VB.Net application. My VB.Net app is simply a reports menu so people can choose and run and preview a Crystal Report prior to printing it.

But I've got zillions of errors and don't know how to fix some of them. I've never used VB.Net, but I have 3 forms working, now I am just trying to add this Crystal Report part.

Here is my code with my questions before and after each section of code:

1. If I imported these same things under Project Properties do I still need them at the top of my code page before anything else?

' Imports the following namespaces
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared

2. I am not sure where to put these two DIM statements.
3. I also don't know why I get an error that says CrystalReport1 is not defined.
4. And in the Set command below the entire string between the parentheses "( )" is full of errors and I have not been able to fix them.
5. Me.ScaleHeight and Me.ScaleWidth is not a member of my WindowsAppForm? Why?

One fix might fix all of these errors, but I haven't figured it out. Thanks for your help.

Dim Report As New CrystalReport1 
Dim crViewer As Object 

Private Sub Form_Load() 
'Create and add a version 11.0 Crystal Report Viewer. 
Set crViewer = Me.Controls.Add("CrystalReports11.ActiveXReportViewer.1", "crViewer") 

With crViewer 
.Visible = True 
.ReportSource = Report 
.ViewReport 
.Zoom 100 
End With 

End Sub 

Private Sub Form_Resize() 
With crViewer 
.Top = 0 
.Left = 0 
.Height = Me.ScaleHeight 
.Width = Me.ScaleWidth 
End With 
End Sub
