Access crystal reports converter

Lots of other tips, too many to mention. IF you have a huge of data fields and no nice front end for data fields like peoplesoft or sap, read the data dictionary into an access database and you can sort both field names and field desc by name, and sort table names and descriptions to find data items. And do simple file queries in access to check the data you want is there before doing the crystal query.

I put a in front. The in front of title is really necessary so that end users can ask you about specific report. Verify data in your ERP system screens and via access queries before you give to end users. Have end users give you printed copies of individual invoices, production tickets, etc if you are doing a report on these. If what you end up wanting on the report is simply the total line at the end of a group, copy the group name or the equiv data field from file to the group totals, and hid the detail section or any subgroups you don't want to see.

If a user has questions, why is this total what it is.. I also always put in addition to the report title, not as text box but fill in the report title field and print it here the page count, and more important, the data 'as of' date. It looks like they are using Access for a frontend.

You have given me alot of starters and ideas I can't wait to try out. I would just love to avoid access if possible. I can work with SQL and tables, fields etc. Why doesn't Crystal allow save as csv? Thanks for you tips. They are greatly appreciated. Glad I gave you some ideas. Active Oldest Votes. Stobor Stobor Microtools Support Microtools Support.
