Application Object
An instance of the Application object can be created using the Visual Basic New keyword or the CreateObject function and the Prog Id CrystalRuntime.Application.1. For example:
● Using the New keyword
Dim app as New CRAXDRT.Application
Set app = New CRAXDRT.Application
Or,
’Automatically creates a new instance of the object when it is first
’referenced in the code, so it doesn’t have to be set.
Dim app as New Application
● Using the CreateObject function
Dim app As Application
Set app = CreateObject(“CrystalRuntime.Application.1”)
Application Object Methods
¾CanClose Method (Application Object), Page 18
¾LogOffServer Method (Application Object), Page 19
¾LogOnServer Method (Application Object), Page 20
¾OpenReport Method (Application Object), Page 21
¾SetMatchLogOnInfo Method (Application Object), Page 21
¾SetMorePrintEngineErrorMessages Method (Application Object), Page 21
CanClose Method (Application Object)
The CanClose method indicates whether or not the Application Object (page 18) can be destroyed. This method will return FALSE as long as there are valid Report objects in existence. The Application object can only be destroyed if no instances of the Report Object (page 93) exist. If you obtain a Report object directly from the Report Designer Component added to your project at design time, then CanClose will always return False until you destroy that object (usually by setting it equal to Nothing).
Syntax
object.CanClose
Report Designer Component Object Model |
18 |

Returns
●TRUE - if the Engine can be closed.
●FALSE - if the Engine is busy.
LogOffServer Method (Application Object)
The LogOffServer method logs off an SQL server or ODBC data source. Use this method when you have logged on to the data source using LogOnServer Method (Application Object) (page 20). This method is only valid if you have purchased Seagate Crystal reports 6.0 or later.
Syntax
object.LogOffServer DLLName, ServerName, _DatabaseName, UserID, Password
Parameters
Property |
Description |
|
|
|
|
DLLName |
Specifies the name of the DLL for the server or password protected non-SQL |
|
table you want to log on to, for example “PDSODBC.DLL”. Note that the |
|
DLLName must be enclosed in quotes. DLL names have the following naming |
|
convention: PDB*.DLL for standard (non-SQL) databases, PDS*.DLL for SQL/ |
|
ODBC databases. |
ServerName |
Specifies the log on name for the server used to create the report.* (For ODBC, |
|
use the data source name.) This value is case-sensitive. |
|
|
DatabaseName |
Specifies the name for the database used to create the report.* |
(Optional) |
|
UserID (Optional) |
Specifies the User ID number necessary to log on to the server.* |
Password (Optional) |
Specifies the password necessary to log on to the server. |
|
|
*When you pass an empty string (““) for this parameter, the program uses the value that’s already set in the report. If you want to override a value that’s already set in the report, use a non-empty string (i.e., “Server A”).
Remarks
If you try to log off a server that is still in use (i.e., there is an object variable still in focus that holds reference to a report that requires being logged on to the server to access data) you will be unable to log off. This will apply to every object that comes from the Report Object (page 93), as they all hold reference to the report through their respective Report properties.
If you assign the Report object to the ReportSource property of the CRViewer Object (page 143), in the Seagate Crystal Reports Smart Viewer, enabling the report to be displayed through the Smart Viewer, you can not call LogOffServer for the report until you assign a new report to the Smart Viewer or close the CRViewer object.

LogOnServer Method (Application Object)
The LogOnServer method logs on to an SQL server or ODBC data source. Once logged on using this method, you will remain logged on until you call LogOffServer Method (Application Object) (page 19), or until the Application Object (page 18), is destroyed. This method is only valid if you have purchased Seagate Crystal reports 6.0 or later.
Syntax
object.LogOnServer DLLName, ServerName, _DatabaseName, UserID, Password
Parameters
Property |
Description |
|
|
|
|
DLLName |
Specifies the name of the DLL for the server or password protected non-SQL |
|
table you want to log on to, for example “PDSODBC.DLL”. Note that the |
|
dllName must be enclosed in quotes. DLL names have the following naming |
|
convention: PDB*.DLL for standard (non-SQL) databases, PDS*.DLL for SQL/ |
|
ODBC databases. |
|
|
ServerName |
Specifies the log on name for the server used to create the report.* (For ODBC, |
|
use the data source name.) This value is case-sensitive. |
|
|
DatabaseName |
Specifies the name for the database used to create the report.* |
(Optional) |
|
|
|
UserID (Optional) |
Specifies the User ID number necessary to log on to the server.* |
|
|
Password (Optional) |
Specifies the password necessary to log on to the server. |
|
|
*When you pass an empty string (““) for this parameter, the program uses the value that’s already set in the report. If you want to override a value that’s already set in the report, use a non-empty string (i.e., “Server A”).

OpenReport Method (Application Object)
The OpenReport method opens an existing report file, creating an instance of the Report object. Through the Report Object (page 93), you can change formatting, formulas, selection formulas, and sort fields for the report, then print, preview, or export the report.
Syntax
Dim rep As Report
Set rep = app.OpenReport(FileName)
Parameters
|
Property |
Description |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FileName |
Specifies a string value indicating the file name and path of the report you want to |
|
|
open. |
|
|
|
|
OpenMethod |
Specifies whether you want to open the report exclusively. If you do not provide this |
|
|
parameter the report is opened exclusively and cannot open it a second time. |
|
|
|
Returns |
|
Returns an instance of the Report Object (page 93), if the report was successfully opened. Returns 0 if the report file does not exist or if an error occurs.
SetMatchLogOnInfo Method (Application Object)
The SetMatchLogOnInfo Method sets global match log on info option.
Syntax
Sub SetMatchLogOnInfo(bl As Boolean)
Parameters
Property Description
b1 |
Specifies whether the option is selected (TRUE) |
SetMorePrintEngineErrorMessages Method (Application Object)
The SetMorePrintEngineErrorMessages Method
