  using (ReportClass rptH = new ReportClass())
     {
      rptH.FileName = @"C:/Report/crJournal.rpt"; //Your rpt file path 
          // if you put your rpt file on Bin then you need to write only rpt file name
      rptH.Load();
      rptH.SetDataSource( ds );// Provide Dataset for report : Ds is DataSet
      rptH.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.Excel, "Give Output file path");
  
     }

  Hi, Thanks a lot for the help,

  Crystal report(2008) has a built in function to export to MS Excel, it can export to two kinds of format:

  1. MS (97-2003)(*.xls), this format is good (the title is generated), but it generates a lot of blank columns in the report, which is hard to read by a program. As the exported MS Report is not only for reading by user, it also used to be read by a program. So, those blank columns will generate errors.

  2. MS Excel(97-2003) Data-Only (*.xls): the column data in Crystal report are exported properly (it is good to be read by a program), but the Title and footer are missing.

  So what I want is to combine these two report together, which has title and footer and column data generated properly (no empty columns).

  I appraciate anybody can provide some good examples to achieve my goal, thanks a lot.
