I am new to CR. I have the basic version with VS 2008 professional edition.

I am using a book:CR Basic for VS 2008.

It tells me that I can discard data by checking an option on the reporting tab of the options dialog.

I have searched everywhere for this option but to no avail. Can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction.

PS I have tried the CRYSTAL REPORT/REPORT/REPORT OPTIONS..
but this has nothing that remotely looks like the required tab.
 
It's in CR->File

Its right at the top with a tick, just highlight and click, tick will disappear. You must then save report and it will nolonger save with data.

Hi Ian, thanks for that. Sadly I am in VS 2008 not CR so do not have CR/File.
Any further hints gratefully accepted
 
Going back to options

is there anything like

CRYSTAL REPORT/REPORT/OPTIONS
or
CRYSTAL REPORT/OPTIONS

Hi Ian, I have :
Crystal Reports,Report,Report Options and this gives me the following options:
Code:
Convert database Null ....
Convert other Null ...
Show all headers
Always sort locally
Database server is case sensitive
Perform grouping on server
use indexes ...
Verify on first ...
Verify stored ..
Respect keep group ..
Select Distinct Records
Select distinct data for browsing
Retain original image ...
These are all the check boxes available to me.
Thanks again for your help

Within Crystal Reports, are you saying you do not see in the toolbar:

file->save data with report

? This should be unchecked.

Yes, that is almost what I am saying. I am in VS 2008 where CR is an option. It doesn't load CR just VS 2008 with CR as an option on the toolbar. Under CR I have the options:
HOORAH!!
I found it. For those who wish to know:
it is from the toolbar...
Code:
click - Crystal Reports
      - Design
      - Default Settings
      - Reporting Tab
...and it is the 4th option down.
Thanks for all your help
