You do not appear to have defined what the user-defined type CrystalReport3 refers to. You cannot use a user-defined type without declaring to what it refers.

To use a crystal reports library you will have to declare a reference to it in your code - unless you do so you won't be able to use it at all.

There are other problems with your code - your sub in lines 3 to 7 cannot do anything as you did not set the newly-created report to any value. As it will not have any contents, how can you export anything from it?

i don't understood your answer

Perhaps you are not ready for using code libraries if you do not know how to set a reference to them.

Have a look at the following link for further guidance on installing Crystal Reports in VB6. Section 10 shows you how to set a reference to the Crystal Reports control.

This will not in itself help you to write useful code, as it can't tell you the steps you must follow. You have to work these out for yourself.

As I said in my first reply, the sub you show in your original post cannot work as you have not set up the crystal reports object it refers to with any contents at all.

You have written:

Dim Report As New CrystalReport3
Report.Export = True

How do you get from the Dim to the export? The report object has not been set to anything at all - there is no database involved, no report loaded, nor anything from what you have posted that could provide the declared object with something to export.
