Crystal Reports Object

I'm trying to create a Crystal Reports Application object in Visual Basic and I'm not having much luck. In my registry, I believe the crw32.dll is buried in CrystalReports.shell.open.ddeexec.Application and I don't know how to make a registry call that deep in the registry. Please let me know if you have any tips or tricks.

Thanks,
Kim

Here is a copy&paste from the examples

Thanks for your response. However, I don't have ("Crystal.CRPE.Application") in my registry, therefore, my VB script is failing. Is there something wrong with my installation or do I need to install a plug-in or something that allows me to have this in my registry?

You may need to reinstall Crystal Reports to fix your registry problems.

I've reinstalled Crystal Reports twice with our network license installation. And that registry key was not created during either installation. Is there a different registry key for a network license as opposed to a single desktop license?

Try CrystalRuntime.Application instead of Crystal.CRPE.Application

If that doesn't help please check with Crystal's support what you need to specify with your license type when accessing CRystal Reports via COM automation methods

Thanks
