i am new to cr 8.5, from access reporting...how would i go about passing variables to a blank field (formula field?).
i am trying to pass information from the detail section down to a footer section in the hierarchy.
ex:
Project
---sign
------sign copy (one to many with sign) (detail)
---sign (footer)
the reason i am not using a subreport with the copy in it, has to do with the fact that i would have to include over 200 subs into a report with 75 images (leading to a whole new problem with a large file size). each image represents a different sign std that is suppressed until needed.
so my goal is to set static variables, 01 - 06 and then pass those variables to some type of field (blank formula field)
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
t
