I'm having a problem with my data displaying or being read. I'm not sure because i don't get any run time error.
What I do is create report (.rpt) file using a data definition file (.ttx). I create my report with crystal report for peachtree software and save it to my visual basic 6 project directory. After I fill the dataset in my program intialize the crystal report objects (Application, Report) and give the report object to the viewer's. The report is saved as GeneralJournal.rpt.
--------------------------------------------
'initialize objects contained in a module

Global GeneralJournal As ADODB.Recordset
Global CRApplication As CRAXDRT.Application
Global CRReport As CRAXDRT.Report

--------------------------------------------
'create initialize report



reports source (in code below):
        Set CRApplication = New CRAXDRT.Application
        Set CRReport = CRApplication.OpenReport("GeneralJournal.rpt")
        CRReport.Database.Tables(1).SetDataSource GeneralJournal, 3
        CRViewer1.ReportSource = CRReport
        CRViewer1.ViewReport

-----------------------end of code-------------------
I am 100 percent sure the recordset actually contains data before it is given to the datasource. Nothing is being displayed on my report except for the example data from the ttx file

The only difference from the way I use is this

 CRReport.Database.SetDataSource gRst, 3, 1

Don't know if this helps. I got it from CR Support a while back
