Date Posted: 16 Feb 2010 at 4:03am

I was wondering if someone could help me out.

To make things short and sweet: I want to hyperlink from text/data in my crystal report to something else in my vb.net project, not another report or url. Say for eg. I want the heading in my CrystalReport to be a link to my Form2.vb..... How do I do that.
I am using vb.net 2008 with .net framework 3.5 sp1.
Thank you for your time.
ps. Sorry if my language is bad. English is my 3rd language....

I have not tried using it as you suggest. This is from the CR Help file. Since your form2.vb would be a file it may just work.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Use the Hyperlink command to create a hyperlink from the selected object to a web site, a file, an email address, or a report object in another report. The hyperlink is saved with your report and is available to other users as a way of viewing additional information. Hyperlinks are also used to define Report Parts to be viewed in web browsers.
When you choose the Hyperlink command, the mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Business%20Objects\Crystal%20Reports%2012.0\Help\en\crw.chm::/html/topic2086.html#mira_id_2006123114004d1039e2_2431 - Hyperlink tab (Format Editor dialog box) appears.
Note:
  • If you create a hyperlink to another report object, you are creating an on-demand subreport. Just as one subreport cannot contain another subreport, you cannot create a hyperlink between two subreports. See mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Business%20Objects\Crystal%20Reports%2012.0\Help\en\crw.chm::/html/topic1508.html#mira_id_2006123114004d2170e2_1818 - How subreport linking works .
  • To select a hyperlinked object, use Shift-click or Ctrl-click. Clicking on a hyperlink, without using the Shift or Ctrl key, activates the link.
  • This command is also available as a button on the mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Business%20Objects\Crystal%20Reports%2012.0\Help\en\crw.chm::/html/topic1966.html#mira_id_2006123114004d655e2_2311 - Expert Tools toolbar .
