This is not a good idea for two reasons.

1. PUBLIC variables are not good OOP
2. This uses an older Crystal integration method that is no longer recommended.


>I use a Public object in the App Startup prg.

>PUBLIC oCrystal

>oCrystal = CREATEOBJECT( 'Crystal.CrystalReport' )
>
>*-- Set Crystal's Default Behaviour......
>oCrystal.ProgressDialog = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowAllowDrillDown = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowControlBox = .F.
>oCrystal.WindowMaxButton = .F.
>oCrystal.WindowMinButton = .F.
>oCrystal.WindowShowCancelBtn = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowCloseBtn = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowExportBtn = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowGroupTree = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowNavigationCtls = .T.

>oCrystal.WindowShowPrintSetupBtn = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowProgressCtls = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowZoomCtl = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowShowSearchBtn = .T.
>oCrystal.WindowState = 2
>oCrystal.Destination = 0 && Screen
