You will have to upgrade to a newer version of Crystal.  The version
that comes with VB is like CR v. 4 or something.  The current version
8.5.  If you buy CR 8.5, you will have no problems.  Also, make sure you
get the Developer edition, not the Pro edition.  I bought the Pro
thinking it would do what I wanted, but it didn't so I had to buy the
upgrade to Developer.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [pro_vb] VB6 and Access2000 and Crystal Report Pro

Hi All,

I code in VB6 using Access2000 as the database. I try
to generate some reports using the Crystal Report Pro
that came with my VB6. As I try to set up the
database, it came up with this error

  File c:\mydata.mdb  is not a known database type.
  Please choose again.

Apparently, it works fine for Access97. What can I do
to overcome this problem. I have already installed the
SP5.
