In the Crystal SQL Designer (V8.5), the 'Save data with query' option is automatically set to on whenever you retrieve any data. With this option on, the report always uses this set of data without refreshing when press the 'refresh' button in Crystal Report. This is confusing. Is there any...

Hi There, I have a report using .qry file as datasource. It needs to run on a PC that doesn't have Crystal SQL Designer (but have Crystal Report 8.0 installed). Will this be a problem? I turned the 'save data with query' off. When I run the report, there are an extra set of parameters...

It dones't work. What I am doing is like this: 1. insert a text box 2. insert the Word format database field into th text box 3. make sure the can grow is on. I also tried to insert the memo field into an OLE object, but seems the OLE object doesn't receive it at all.

My .qry file runs well in SQL Designer, but I can't add it to any reports, even brand new standard reports. I am using subordinary sentence in the .qry file, do you think this will cause the problem? Thanks, Knzy

The subreport needs to do 2 things: 1. to return a shared variable to main report for deciding if the group need to be suppressed; 2. if the group will not be suppressed, to show some records in the group footer. I found I have to run the subreport twice - one in group header to decide if...
