Know the data field of Accpac5.2 GL report

[zaccaz]

hi there, would like to modify existing report located at \\server\afw52\accpac\gl52a\eng\glptls1.rpt

by using "crystal report 8.5 for accpac" to open that rpt file, found that the data field entries were called from glptl table which i believed was actually embedded in some dll file, as in my sql server there is no glptl database/table at all

how can i map the corresponding data field from glptl table in a particular company database?

p.s. i'm new to accpac, in which just recently adopt the task of accpac's i.t. administrator ... :-(

It's called a datapipe report, you can't add fields directly from other tables. If you need some, use subreports.

You need basic Crystal Reports training. Buy a book (there are dozens), or take a course.
