Custom-Print Link Step 1: Open the Crystal Report Engine
Example
PEOpenEngine();
Description

This step starts the Crystal Report Engine and prepares it to accept a print job. The Crystal Report Engine must be open before a print job can be established. You should open the Crystal Report Engine before the user has a chance to try to print a report. For example, if your application uses a dialog box as the user interface to the Crystal Report Engine, open the Crystal Report Engine immediately after the dialog box is created at runtime. Your dialog box can allow the user to establish a print job and make changes to the report while the Crystal Report Engine is already open.

Every time the Crystal Report Engine is opened, it should be closed once your application is finished accessing it (Custom-Print Link Step 6: Close the Crystal Report Engine). For example, if you open the Crystal Report Engine when a dialog box is created, close the Crystal Report Engine when that dialog box is destroyed.
