Thanks a million. It WORKS!. It finally work!!!! Just to let you know that I spend the last couple of weeks figuring out why my code does't work. Thanks again. Now, what is the diferrence between a report object created with CRPE automation and RDC (CrystalRuntime.Application)? Aren't they suppose to be same report object ?

You seem to have done a lot research on CR to work in Vfp. I have searched your postings on CR in UT, and I found that you almost always reply any questions regarding CR. All those posting by you is always very valuable to those who want to use CR in Vfp. May I suggest that you do a help document or a general framework on CR ( if possible with examples and tips and traps) and post to UT in the files sections, so that anyone who is interested in CR may save them a lot of troubles searching the net for those answers. If you already have done that, could you please email me a copy?
Hope that's not a tall request. THANKS!!!
