Grabbing data field without linking table

[DavidSherring]

I know from previous work placements that it is possible to grab data from tables without linking, if you know the table, the field, type, etc, and call using a variable or value from calling report.

I don't know if this has to be done in a programming environment, or can be done from crystal. Can anyone help?

It is very similar to the grab function that used to exist on db version databases from years ago.

Your description of the situation is too general, but here are some general options:
- SQL Expression in the Crystal report (see user manual)
- Subreport in the Crystal report (see user manual)
- View as a data source
- Command as a data source
