Inserting files into a crystal report

[ComputerNurse]

I am writing a report that generates a form with client information. Rather that recreate the form in Crystal. I would like to drop the file (Excel) into the document as if it where an image. Is that possible or is there a better way. Also is it possible to print double sided? or should that be handled on the printer side?

You can drop the form in using Insert-Ole Object, but you won't be able to populate the form from within CR.

You could use Excel and macros/vba to populate the form, sounds like the better solution to me, or go pure Crystal.

Alternate suggestion might be to insert the form in the page header and use the underlay feature so the report details display in the correct position on the form.

Thank you, both suggestions have been very helpful.
