What is "StartDocPrinter"? Is that your own function? I'm pretty sure :StartDocPrinter" is not a CR function or API...

You want to look at a few resources and see how best to code this. Your code just does not make any sense;

1) You are creating a dataset, but then you are attempting to log on to the database with the report

2) You are using CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource two times

3) You are using SetDatabaseLogon and after you send the report to the viewer you use ApplylogOnInfo

4) and more...
