HI, I have an old VB6 Application using MS Access as Database and Crystal Report 4.6 as Reporting Tool. The Application works fine on Ubuntu but When I Try it to MAC OS the Printing of Reports which is working on Ubuntu but not on MAC OSX. I tried to Run the Crystal 4.6 on MAC but it’s not working.

Any suggestion to make it possible?

Thanks

Does printing from other Wine apps work on the Mac?

What is NOT working? Printing to a printer or printing to screen?

If it is the latter, you might find that installing XQuartz can help.

Can you run Crystal from terminal on your Mac following the
instructions at http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal ? If
there is an error regarding missing X11 functions, then you should
install XQuartz version of X11. Apple's X11, even with Lion, is
missing functions that Wine will attempt to use.

No output at all? That appears to be very strange indeed.
