Creating a db of report criteria/output elements... 1

[EricJP]

Upfront: I'm using Crystal Reports 9.0.

I'm assisting in analysing current reports data elements being used in the selection criteria and report output in about 200 reports. I have to create a database of the elements to see which elements are used the most.

I started by just opening one report after another and manually copy/paste to an excel spreadsheet but saw that was going to be difficult at best.

Next, I started exporting the reports to the 'report definition text file' but I'll still be copy/pasting manually.

Are there any known utilities that could make this task easier?

Thanks in advance...

I should have mentioned that they have a freebie download trial version, so d/l the Suite, and then point at your reports and select XREF.
