Because containership is different in VFP than it is in VB, you get the error. You can code your error handler to suppress error messages if you get a 1440 error and the viewer will work in VFP. This is documented in the Crystal articles on my web site.
>I use Crystal Report 8.5 with its ole viewer integrated with codemine v7. It crashed when the ole viewer control started. I end up to wrap around viewer control with VB 6 and drop it into VFP form as VB 6 control. Other than the viewer control, other crystal COM objects seems to work fine with VFP.
