Hi Chris,
I am a visual person and it is very hard to include images within a post here. I will expand on the initial word document I attached a while back, to include the implementation to split the report. I will include screenshots to make what I am trying to do easier to understand...
Hello again.
I have made some progress regarding my test to split an existing Crystal Report file into multiple PDF files.
As I had previously stated, our application runs the Crystal Reports in several steps:
1) User opens the VFP form for a specific report (to select filters and then click...
Chris, thank you for your feedback. Will try your suggestion.
Mike, thank you for your suggestion. Should've included the code snippet as well. Will do in the future.

Hello again!
While implementing my test to split a crystal report, I am getting the following error, and I don't know why. Would anybody have an idea of why this is not allowed?
Thank you Mike, I do keep that in mind.
Chris, I don't think the users are sure of what they want, so I relayed to them the difficulties of this approach and left it at that. Back to my attempt to split a crystal report... [glasses]

Thanks Mike. I did pass along the Millet Software information to our Project Manager re: splitting a crystal report, in case they wanted to follow up (third party negotiations are above my pay grade =D). I will mention this scenario as well so they can include it in their discussions with Millet...
Thank you for your response Mike, it did clarify things, and I agree with you re: passing the report value to the container form. Even with Chris' suggestion re: accesing _cliptext, it would only work if there was only 1 value needed to open the corresponding VFP form. In most of our VFP forms...
Thank you Mike and Chris for your suggestion.
Would it be possible to point me to any documentation or example on how to add my own VFP button (or other VFP controls) to the crystal reports viewer form?
I would like to see the level of complexity it can work with regarding opening a VFP form...
Hello all,
We manage a desktop application developed with VFP9 that displays .RPT files via the Crystal Reports Viewer. Users are now requesting new functionality within the Viewer, where you right-click on a value, they want to see a custom option that would execute one of your VFP forms when...
Hello Chris and Mike,
Just got back from vacation. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to both.
Prior to leaving, I did manage to run a quick test to silently export our 21D crystal report to a PDF format and save it to a local directory, with success!
I still have not tested splitting the report...
Hi Chris, thank you for your feedback.
The temporary database tables that are being generated for a Crystal Report in our application, are done in an Oracle database. The report is connecting directly to the database, and loading the table that was created prior to calling...
Hi Mike, thank you very much for your feedback.
There is an option to select Destination 'File' in our vfp CR interface, which currently can only be selected manually by the user. When 'File' is selected and user clicks the 'Print' button, the following line of code happens:
oRpt.Export(.t.)...
Ok. I had to take a closer look at our Crystal Reports implementation to better understand it myself. I have documented it with screenshots and a bit of code. Please take a look and let me know your comments.
I should've done this sooner instead of making vague questions, apologies.
I...

Thank you Chris Miller and Mike Lewis for your input. Mike, I will explore your suggestion as well.
Here is one of the reports that would need to be split into separate PDFs based on Group 1. I'm attaching the image files as well b/c the inserts look a bit blurry...
The first page (with...
Thank Chris, I think it will be easier for me to map your suggestions to our CR implementation with an specific example of our reports. Let me prepare one that I can post to discuss further [glasses].

We do not have the 'head' table / 'detail' tables structure for the reports. All the report contents is contained in one final temporary table (which could have been generated after processing multiple previous temporary tables)

Thanks Chris, the current implementation leaves the grouping to the Cristal Report File. I.e., the 'criteria' for the grouping is defined in the .RPT file.
