Is there any way to analyze a .RPT file and automatically create a dictionary that contains what that report uses?
 
There are several very nice report documentation software packages out there. If you are using 8.5 or older REport miner is very good. I have been having problems with report miner since I upgraded to 9.0 though.
 
I tried Report Miner and it seems like it might be useful, but I was hoping to do something different than what Report Miner offers. I guess what I'm really looking for is an easier way to create Crystal Dictionary files (.DC5) as opposed to the tedious method of using the Crystal Dictionaries program. Is there a better way? Or is there even an entirely different method for creating user friendly table and field aliases?
