Is it possible using crystal reports viewer to add comments to the report and then save these back to the report.

I want end users to add comments to the final report. Any ideas how to do this would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Do you need to
a) simply print the report with the comments, or
b) save the comments so that at a future date, when the report gets opened again the comments show.

If B, do you need to see the comments after refreshing the report with new data from the database or is it enough to preserve the report data and comments for a future date (without refreshing the data from the database)?

- Ido

view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
 
I would say b) Facility to add comments and view them at a later point. If the data can be refreshed at this point that would work well.

is this dooable??
 
The general direction I would take on this is an On-Demand subreport that would take the comment (captured in the main report via a parameter or a UFL) and persist it to a database (via a command) or to an ini file (via a UFL).

view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
