Please i would want to know what kind of VB6 file(s) that generates a data report? Example vb common dialog is generated by COMDLG32.OCX, vb datagrid is generated by MSDATGRD.OCX, microsoft data report designer v6.0 is generated by MSDBRPT.DLL
I guess, you are looking for this.
As per the article, the name of the underlying dll is Msdbrptr.dll.

We have some SSRS reports with several tabs which have been developed in SoftArtisans Officewriter as well. We had some consultants make changes to the reports and they redeployed them without touching the Officewriter portion, thus overwriting. The reports will not render in Excel Officewriter now.
My question, is this, is there a way to relink an older copy of the Officewriter template from 9 months ago, to the newer copy of the SSRS report? I could then add any changes from the last 9 mos to the Officewriter template without starting from scratch. When I open the Officewriter addin and open the report, all of the datamarkers are available, but the spreadsheet is blank.
Although the report will not render in Excel OfficeWriter, the SSRS XML code does have some mention of OfficeWriter.
OfficeWriter v9.0.0
Excel Template
I'm not very familiar with XML or what happens behind the scenes between SSRS and Officewriter. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

The easiest way to do this, would be to actually download and use the newest version of the OfficeWriter Designer.
Newer versions of the OfficeWriter Designer added functionality called "Import template" which can be used for this very use case.
You open the the SSRS template with the designer, and the select Import. From there you select your new Excel File. This will now replace and associate your new excel file with the existing SSRS report.
Till current moment I knew only one recipy to create form VC++ designer:
1. Add dialog resource and design what you want in designer.
2. Create MFC form by using designed dialog resources
But now I got project sample that has form and has no *.rs files with form information. Instead of that it has header file that has form icon. Header file contains many code that creates controls and sets style. It is also possible select from menu "View Designer". That makes me think that there is another way of creating form. Besides that looks that codes does't uses MFC.
How to create simple form application with designer that would generate header file (not resource) and not use MFC?
Unfortunately I can't "View Designer" because during this procedure error is generated:
C++ CodeDOM parser error: Line: 1520, Column: 42 --- Unknown type 'AxKgLib.AxKg'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced. If this type is a part of your development project, make sure that the project has been successfully built.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Looks like I need registered ActiveX for this project. I have registered ocx that was included in source, but this didn't helped.
How to solve this problem? How to get list of all ocx that system has to make sure there is no required AxKgLib.AxKg? How to make designer to show me form without required control?
A bit of a Visual Studio 2010 newbie here, but I have developed a modest working knowledge of how to create report forms linked to a database, but I have come across something that I have yet to face.
I have created a report that has three tables on it. Tables 1 (equipment specs) and 2 (operation schedule) are linked to my database. Table 3 is a table (equipment performance audit) that will need to be populated by the people out in the field. They will have to populate these fields in a PDF editor (Adobe) while they are out in the field and simply save them to PDF file. I do not believe there is a plan to have them to be imported back into a database table (which I think we should, but I don't help make those decisions...yet), so we don't need to worry about that.
The problem that I am facing is that I have no idea how to generate the fillable (i.e. text box?) fields for the PDF in Visual Studio, I tried inserting text boxes, but that didn't work...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Have a look at the ITextSharp library. It will allow you to create PDF files on the fly. I'm pretty sure that it is also able to create PDF forms as well.
ITextSharp is a port of the JAVA based IText PDF library. so most of the conceptual information that applies to IText will also apply to ITextsharp
Some code examples to help:
- iTextSharp — few C# examples.
- Generating PDF using ItextSharp with Footer in C#
- Create PDFs in ASP.NET- getting started with iTextSharp
- IText In Action book samples
- Answer to Fill PDF Form with Itextsharp
Wonder if anyone can help. I have a c# web application that uses the Reportviewer control that uses RDLC files to create the reports.
The problem that I'm having is that any fields in the database that have a line break in them look like this on the report
458%20Kingshighway%0ALynnwood%0A0081%0ASouth%20Africa
Does anyone know what is going wrong? Is it something to do with encoding of the HTML?
Thanks,
Airlok
you should use the "vbcrlf" function apply line breaks on the report
My team is looking for a manner to embed SSRS Report Viewer into a currently working VB6 program as the replacement of Crystal Report. Is it possible? if so, and how?
Many thanks!
Not sure about that, but you can certainly use a different approach such as:
Build a .NET WinForms program (exe) that uses the SSRS Report Viewer control and just call it with a VB6 Shell() + the parameter(s) of the report to run.
Not that I know of however another option would be to use a canned web browser control on a VB6 form and call the report using its URL
