How to Create a INDEX Report in CR8 ???!!

[antoniojesus]

Hi There, Thanks for Reading This.
Here's my prob.

I have a book in a CR with 300 Pages, the book shows
the records from a database.

I want to create an index of the book, so i need to find
in wich page the records are so that i can build a table using SQL, with the index.
For instance:
record 1 - Page 1
record 2 - page 1
record 3 - Page 2
and so on.

I though i could do it by using the searchtext of the CRViewer and then wen it finds ir i could get the currentpagenumber and save it to the table, but CRViwer takes about 5 min. to acomplish a single search. and i need to search 300/500 strings.

Does anyone can help me on this one

Thanks a Lot
Antonio

Crystal doesn't export page numbers or pagination so page numbers are almost impossible to 'capture' automatically. I tried this for a directory once and after several hours I had to give up.
