Crystal Reports Version 10 for Sage

[jtr9999]

A department at where I work just converted from crystal 8.5 to crystal 10 for sage. I think that is what it is. Can anyone tell me what Sage is? They are having trouble just writing a simple formula in version 10 that worked for them in version 8.5. It gives them and error of "a statement is required here" Does this make sense to anybody?

Thanks

Jonathan,

Sage Software is a large, multi-national company that produces a number of accounting systems such as AccPac, Simply Accounting, Peachtree, The MAS series, BusinessVision, and other things such as the ACT Contact Manager. These all run on a variety of database back-ends. What specific piece of Sage software are you trying to report on?

It sounds like they have "Basic Syntax" checked in the formula editor instead of "Crystal Syntax". Try changing that.

How about posting the formula?

I agree with Lbass that this is probably set to BASIC syntax. That is the only way to get that error.

As a matter of fact you may find that under
File>Options>Reporting you may find that the global default is set to BASIC. In later versions it is File>Options>Formula Editor
