Creating a Custom Function That Contains a Document Property Field

[hhiebert]

Now that CR 9 offers Custom Functions I was hoping to save myself some work by moving the following formula into a function...up till now I was copy the formula from report to report. However, when I try to create a custom function in Crystal Reports I get the error "This function cannot be used within a function" when I try to save it. I've tried Crystal Decisions Support, 9 days later all I've heard is that they're still working on it.

The formula is as follows with Filename being the Document Property field.

Global StringVar Ref := Filename;

Do Ref := Right(Filename, Length(Ref) - InStr(Ref, "\&quot) While
InStr(Ref, &quot;\&quot <> 0;

Ref;
