Most probably the same way you'd run it from your operating system's command prompt. If you know how to do that, include that command line into HOST built-in (in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger), supply parameters and that should do it.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Now please let me know the program unit that will help me to run the report.

Thanks.

I did (at least, I thought I did ...)

What another program unit do you have on mind?

The code you would use to run crystal reports from the command line.
If you don't know what that is I suggest you look in the crystal documentation or try a crystal forum online.
This is an oracle forum and most of us don't use crystal.

If you're lucky someone here will know and tell you but I suggest you start looking elsewhere.

I Googled a little bit and it appears that Crystal Reports doesn't have a command line utility which would allow you to run it from the command line. Also, I found 3rd party tools which are capable of doing that job.

Therefore, as far as I can tell, it seems that you'd have to buy a missing part, or forget about running Crystal Reports from a form.
