[DaRetina]

Thanks in Advance..
I neeed to make a formula in CR..The formula contains a variable that I obtain from a text field in VB!..
I did the following :
Global TaxRate as Number
Formula = {SharesRpt.Shares} * TaxRate
in the formual field..
WHERE CAN I SET THE VARIABLE TaxRate??
CAN I USE :
Me.SetReportVariableValue "TaxRate", Val(txtFld(4).Text)WHERE CAN I USE IT?..And can I see report variables from within a formula?
THANKS

The simplest would be to create a separate formula field in CR for the tax rate, storing a literal value. Then overwrite the literal from VB with your current value. That way the report can also be run without the app.

The syntax for passing the formula depends on your integration method. See faq149-237, the choices are OCX, RDC, API, Automation Server. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
