Printing report summary info 6

[MerlinTheWizard]

What I've got is a folder with all my reports in it and someone wants a list of these reports. I ahve Crystal versions from 8.5 through 10. I know I can print things such as the "Report Title" and "File Path" from one report. Is there anyway that I can get a report to look at a directory and pull ALL "Report Title"'s Thanks for any help in advance! ~Merlin

In 10, I was able to do this.

Create a new report.
In the Database Expert, Create a New Connection, and go to File System Data.
Set the appropriate location of your folder and any other info for the driver.
Add the source to your report.
Drag the fields you need from the Field Explorer onto your report. The fields from File, Summary Info will be available there.

You can do it in CR 8.5 as well.

Select More Data Sources->Local File System and you can use any directory and optionally it's subdirectories to list files and their attributes, you can even use a pattern matching to use *.rpt.

Same here (**).

That just allowed me to identify some reports that were missing summaries.
