I've used Crystal Reports, but I'm new to Crystal Enterprise and want to do the following:
- Give the user a parameter selection screen to set report date ranges, etc.
- Also allow them to select the output format. Often the report will be viewed on screen. Once viewed and proofed, the report has to be formatted in a particular way for electronic submission to a state agency. This is not just an export to a .csv format, but a particular required output file format.
So I'd like to collect both report parameters as well as control some program functions from the user dialog.
I'm not sure where would be the best place to collect the parameters, or how to use either CE or CR functions to export to a specific file format.
Anybody have any suggestions on where to implement these functions that could get me started?
Thanks,
Rick
