reading variables from a text file

[Paulos]

Is there any way to read a text file into Crystal and assign values from the file to variables that are used within the report?

I need to read an INI file and make specific assumptions about the setup based on specific key words.

Thanks

Since Crystal can't even evaluate the text within memo fields in a table, I would be surprised if it could evaluate text in an INI file.

If the INI file could be read as a table with fixed length fields, via ODBC text driver, and then used as a subreport in the header of the main report, then you could capture a value and pass it. Otherwise, I am afraid not. Ken Hamady
