Hi All,

I have this problem - I have a text file which has a formatted report. I want to show its contents (as it is) in a crystal report.
Is there any way of doing this programatically ?

simply, use this text file as as oleDb drive and use it as a database.

I mean u can use oleDB connection, Command and data adapter then.

there is another approach which I really do not recommend but it could be done and I've seen it several times, is to sequentially read this file useing file stream, and then file a dataSet with the values read. and afterwards show a reprot for this dataset (which should be a typed one by the way).

hope this could help, and contact me if you needed anything :)
