If the formula is in Formula Editor of Crystal report then
I got this sort of problem myself a few months ago.

I did it like this:

{Customer.LastYearSales} > ToText("11000") AND MID({Customer.CustomerName},1,1) = ToText("A")

This might be the solution then -

Dim mySelectFormula As String = "{Customer.Last Year's Sales} > " & lastYearsSales.Text & " AND Mid({Customer.Customer Name}, 1) > """ & customerName.Text & """"

OR,

Dim mySelectFormula As String = "{Customer.Last Year's Sales} > 11000.00 " & "AND Mid({Customer.Customer Name}, 1, 1) = ""A"" "

hello thank u for your reply

here i test it with this
string selectFormula = "Mid({Customer.CustomerName}, 1, 1) = \"A\"";
no problem there it shows report customerName that starts with A

problem part is
if i wrote this
" {Customer.LastYearSales} > 11000" it says a number is required here
if i wrote change it to this
" {Customer.LastYearSales} > \"11000\"" it says a string is required here
