Hi,

Could some one please let me know how i can write a formula to always print a block of text in the report even though that block of text is not selected to print through the application


Thanks

You can include blocks of text in a formula field, either as text or conditional, e.g.

if Month(Currentdate) = 12 and Day(currentdate) = 25
then "This week you have " & ToText(@Your_Count, 0) & " instances.  Merry Christmas"
else "This week you have " & ToText(@Your_Count, 0) & " instances."

You can also have text in your report, and formula fields can be set to grow if they need more space.

Does that help. If not, please explain more about what you're after.

This is based on Crystal 11. It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options.
