Creating a New template in Crystal Report V 10

[robercr12]

hi,

Please advise me on how to create a new template in Crystal Version 10.

I do not want to use the default templates that come with this version but want to create a new one specific for my clients needs.

Thanks
Regards

I think you would just have to create the template manually, using various formatting functions. Then save the report and identify it as a "template" to use when starting a new report. You would have to add at least one table--choose one that is likely to always be included in a report.

Hi Lb,

On the part where you said "- add at least one table "

I will be using different databases in the reports. So one table from one Database might not work.

Would you please suggest something or clarify if i misunderstood your suggestion?

Thanks

I guess you don't really need a table. I just tried creating a new report with no table and I was able to get the preview mode, so I guess you don't really have to have a table. It's just that certain items you might want to add to a template won't appear, e.g., file path, unless you have a table. You can always delete the table when starting a new report.
