VB6 Crystal Reports ActiveX viewer not displaying all export formats

I am using the Crystal Reports ActiveX viewer (v10) in a VB6 app. 10/12/2003 01:41 AM 799,944 crviewer.dll

The viewer loads OK and displays the report but the export formats available using the button on the dialog are limited to:

  • Crystal Report (RPT)
  • Tab seperated text
  • Text

I have confirmed that the required export DLLs such as u2fsepv.dll, u2fxls.dll, etc are located in both the windows\system32 and Common files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin directories.

I have checked the source code used to load the viewer and it is not limiting export formats in any way that I can see.

Is this a known issue? Any ideas?

Those DLL's (u2*.dll) need to be dropped in C:\Windows\Crystal.

EDIT

For v8.5, I also install and register:

$PROGRAMFILES\Seagate Software\Shared\ExportModeller.dll
$PROGRAMFILES\Seagate Software\Shared\crtslv.dll

Note, that the export driver for PDF is not a u2f*.dll; I use crxf_pdf.dll (which does go in $WINDIR\Crystal)
