    How to visually located subreports and summary fields on the report in Crystal 2008?

    Hi, I recently inherited a bunch of reports that were developed by other people in the past and I am supposed to spec them out and make documentations about fields that are used, table joins etc. Some reports are very "busy". How do I know if it uses any subreports or summary fields and which...

    Compare Report Processing Time - any formulas or tools?

    I have CR 11 and I know about the Performance Information but I am not sure how accurate the numbers are. Also it does not seem to capture the timestamp of the time it was launched and when it finished. I am hoping for more complete information to do analysis. Also we develop Crystal Reports to...

    Compare Report Processing Time - any formulas or tools?

    Right now I am manually capturing the start time of a report and end time of a report by looking at the clock. It does not take too much effort to get a start time but getting an accurate end time can be a pain as I have to constantly flip back and forth between the stuff I am working on and the...

    Crystal XI - Can I create and drop temp tables using SQL Command?

    I am currently working with a "closed" DB and we cannot add any custom functions nor stored procs to. SQL Command is the closest thing to a stored proc. I know I can write a select statement in SQL Command but can I go to the extend of create multiple temp tables and refer to each other? Thanks.

    Interact with the SQL statements

    Are you trying to use the SQL Command feature in Crystal? Yes, you can use a Crystal parameter with SQL. 1) go to your Database Expert, ODBC connection 2) click on Add Command, a new screen "Add Command to Report" will pop up 3) type in your select statement (query) 4) on the right side of the...

    Converting NULL to numeric value (0)

    I haven't tested it in SQL but it should work as well. At the worst case, syntax may be a bit different (which I doubt) but the concept is the same. Good luck. EC

    Converting NULL to numeric value (0)

    Hi T, Instead of displaying the field that could be NULL, replace it by a formula. IF ISNULL({table.field}) THEN 0 ELSE {table.field}

    How to Allow Blank Date Parameters in Crystal 11?

    Thanks for your advice but that report isn't using a stored proc. What I ended up doing was to set up a default start date and default end date which I may or may not end up using based on some other conditions.

    How to Allow Blank Date Parameters in Crystal 11?

    I am supposed to create a report where the user can choose to use an "as of date" or a specified "date range". As a result I set up 3 date parameters with IF NOT ISNULL validation. However it seems like Crystal forces me to fill all 3 parameters when I try to preview the report. Anyway, I can...

    Display Overlapping Date/Time in Details section CR 11

    Hi CR95user, thanks for the suggestion but your solution will not work. The 1st entry without any time conflict remains on the report: 01/06/2007 10:00am 10:15am BALL, MANDI And the 2nd entry end up being dropped. Only one of the 2 1:20pm entries remains: 01/06/2007 1:20pm...

    Performance: use linked tables or command object? Crystal XI

    I am using Crystal XI. Someone told me that replacing linked tables by a command object will enhance performance and make reports run faster. Is it always true? Currently there is still too little data to test on and be able to tell the difference, but after the data conversion, we may be...
