Hi, I'm using CR8 to report from a HelpDesk database.
I have no problem creating a dictionary and then creating reports from that dictionary.
I DO have a problem updating the dictionary and then getting my existing reports to work even when I'm 100% the dictionary relationships/integrity is OK.
Our HelpDesk system is constantly being built and hence new fields appear which have to be reported on.
I can't add a new field to the dictionary, so what I have to do is delete the table and reimport if from the dictionary. This kills my reports and is also an illogical way to update the dict.
Does anybody know how to get around this ????
PS I know that the integrity & relationships are fine in the dict becasue after I've updated and not got a report to work. I delete the fields in the report and create from scratch and all works as before. Go figure.
Please, I'm desperate here. The DB has to keep changing but I can't keep rewriting reports.
