Been told I need to call a VB calculation - Fine..How!

[ekimr]

Hi,

I have a report that needs an extra field to be added. However this extra field does not appear in the database,

We have an application that displays records 1 at a time, and a VB calculation takes info from the record & does lots of clever things (other table reads etc) to calculate mean averages then displays them on the screen/

So, when I do a report, I also need to call this VB module and get the same results...

How do I call a VB calculation and pass the result into a field.

Hope it makes sense, I am thinking I am perhaps out of my league on this - cos I am just learning crystal and have no VB knowledge.

I doubt very seriously if you need VB to accomplish what you want. Having said that, please define what you want. For example, if you want Field A divided by Field B times field C, say that. We can create a formula field to do this for you. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine

if the vb app already calculates what you need, you can pass the results to the crystal report as parameters.
