Calling A Function From A Delphi Application 1

[MsRae]

I am trying to call a function from a Delphi application in a Crystal Report. Does anyone have some ideas of how this can best be done?

I tried to create a SQL command to call the function, but that did not work.

I am using version 9 of Crystal with a SQL backend. I will also have to duplicate the report to use an Oracle backend.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The only functions you can call using SQL expressions are database functions. You can create a UFL (User Function Library) in Delphi, and call it from Crystal in a formula. Here's a link demonstrating how to create UFL's with Delphi:
