    Link field restrictions when linking different ORACLE databases

    Thanks for your insight. I'm not exactly sure why we are using the Oracle ODBC drivers instead of CR, but I will experiment with the CR driver and see if it works. Yes, I agree that pasted SQL code can be changed, but I'm not sure that our users, who dabble in Crystal, are sophisticated...

Of course we could just distribute the version 7 .rpt files to them, and 9 would run them OK, but the compiled...

    Printing 1 column

    To create newspaper style columns all you have to do is select 'Section' under 'Format', then click on 'Details' under the Section type.
