    Conversions between UNIX time and normal time

    Hi goduke, You may be able to adapt my formula to fit your timezone. begin_date - gets the year of your date field, then sets itself to 1st Jan on this year at 02:00am (UK clocks change at this time in Spring & Fall) work_date & DLSStart - combine to get the last Sunday in March (US use 2nd...

    Conversions between UNIX time and normal time

    Umm, just thought - I should perhaps explain why we need to convert DLS times... Our data source (CA-USD) stores date/times in unix, but the browser app that allows the users to manage their incident/change tickets will 'helpfully' examine your pc clock to determine your timezone and convert the...

    Conversions between UNIX time and normal time

    Just to make things more difficult... are you based in the UK? If so, we use the following code to allow for Daylight Savings Clock Changes in Spring/Autumn... local datetimevar rec_date := DateAdd("s",{table.datefield},DateTime(1970,01,01)); local datetimevar begin_date :=...

    Dates and Strings

    Try - if isnull({PEM_KC135_OPEN_ITEM_MVW.CURRENT_PROM_DATE}) then "No EDD Date" else totext({PEM_KC135_OPEN_ITEM_MVW.CURRENT_PROM_DATE}) The first part of your formula is trying to resolve to a string value, so the second part needs to as well - confused me for a while too! This will allow you...

    Crystal Reports XI default template

    I found actually starting a report from scratch the hardest most time-consuming part, especially as reports required from our ticketing system generally require 7-8 tables. So one day, I just stripped the details from an old report, kept the Header/Footer, and saved it as a blank report...

    Schedule Crystal Report in Business object Enterprise

    Choose the 'Monthly' option, then click the drop-down arrow where the Run option currently says 'on the nth day of the month' - this will give some more options, one of which is 'every n months'. Choose N = 3, then set the first run to be on the 1st of the next month.

    Scheduling Daily and Hourly

    I 'inherited' an Access app with a ton of complex VBA code which I found to be slow when running reports from our ticketing system. I modified the VBA to run the queries in Access creating temp tables with the results, then it creates dummy files that Crystal Events was looking for. The files...

    Scheduling Daily and Hourly

    I'd be interested to find out how you do this... other than defining 10 daily schedules to run at each relevant hour.

    BOXI Inventorying Report Objects

    OK - ready for a really convoluted solution? I found something similar to this a couple of years ago here on tektips, cant find it again so cant give a credit (sorry!). I've modified it slightly for my needs ie Report Name, Relevant Dates, Email Recipients... once you understand how it works you...
