thats what I will do then.

I am trying to control the crystal report preview window location and size
with no luck. also the preview appears for a a half second then disappears.
could you tell me what I am doing wrong.

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN Win32API
LOCAL lnhwnd
lnhwnd = GetActiveWindow()
tcrptname="C:\Seagate Software\Crystal Reports\womasbydept.rpt"
reportapp=createobject("Crystal.CRPE.Application")
orpt = reportapp.OpenReport(tcRPTName)
orpt.PrintWindowOptions.HasPrintSetupButton =.t.
orpt.PrintWindowOptions.HasSearchButton =.t.
orpt.PrintWindowOptions.HasexportButton =.t.
orpt.PrintWindowOptions.HascancelButton =.t.
orpt.PrintWindowOptions.hasZoomControl=.t.
orpt.Preview("Title", 12, 23, 624, 643,2,lnhwnd)
*orpt.Preview
