    MS Access and Home Maintenance Applications

    This is an example of one of the online apps. https://www.homezada.com/ This is a subscription product. I do not like the concept of placing this type of information online either. I thought a google search would find a similar product developed in Access or Excel…. But no luck.

    CR and Microsoft Active Directory (AD)

    Can anyone provide any feedback on how well CR performs as a report writer against Microsoft Active Directory (AD) ? For example, does CR have specific features to allow direct linking to AD ? Are there other features that are designed to interact with AD data ? Thanks, KMD

    Month-Year c/w Record Counter Query (MS Access vs Crystal)

    I just posted this question in the Access Forum as the data is within a MS Access database. It may be possible to get Access to perform this query however my thinking is that Crystal would be more suited for the job. Would designing this query in Crystal be less complex a task due the...

    Using LIKE and referencing data fields in other tables to find matches

    Ok I see what you mean. I was thinking if this technique could be used to list those records where the match is determined by the Like operator and not by an exact match (equal). Stock Vendor A123 vs 123 ( Like ) - Select F234 vs F234 ( Equal) - slip Perhaps some type...

    Using LIKE and referencing data fields in other tables to find matches

    LB, Thanks for this technique. It took me a couple of tries but in the end I got it to work. For future reference, would this change to the formula work as well or are things more complex than that >> NOT ({vendor.partnumber} like “*”+{?pm-stock.partnumber}+”*”) Osprey

    Using LIKE and referencing data fields in other tables to find matches

    CR XI and both fields are text. The tables (MS Access) are completely separate and linked only within the Database Expert of CRXI. {stock.part_num} is linked to {vendor.part_num} LEFT table is tbl.stock (So I have rearranged the position of the fields in the formula below so things look...

    Some part numbers provided by different vendors are similar but may have a vendor specific prefix or suffix added for their unique purposes. I want to compare vendor specific part numbers against generic named stock numbers currently held in stock...looking for matched items. Would the...

    Selecting a text string within a record and displaying in Details Section

    Thanks for both of these options. As far as testing instr on the Memo field I cannot do so as the Memo field in not being listed in the formula builder and therefore not selectable for use in a formula.

    EXPORTING DATA IN CRYSTAL REPORTTO EXCEL WITHOUT HAVING BLANK SPACES IN THE ROWS

    Is it mandatory that your report does not have any Groups in use? With one only Detail section in play it seems that the export to Excel will go cleanly. Any tips on exporting when using Groups to group data and then performing an export to Excel?

    Unmatched data checking for two text fields (CRXI)

    Thank you again. I only have experience running 'built-in' Crystal Reports queries. So I am in the process of reading thru this.... http://www.hexcentral.com/articles/crystal-sql.htm ... and perhaps a few others before I start adding the SQL above to the report.
