Subreport not exporting to CSV file

[kskid]

I am little perplexed.

I am using Crystal 8.5 and exporting my report to a CSV file using Article C2006981 to create my fake page header and false group to eliminate the header for each record.

I am also using thread 767-560679 in a subreport to combine multiple records on one line

I can see the results of the subreport in the main report but when I export the data to a CSV file, it's not there.

Am I missing something or is it a no-no?

goto

http://support.crystaldecisions.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr85_exportlimitations.zip.asp

and download this file.

This states that subreports to csv is not supported in CR8.5

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not supported in version 9 either.

You might be able to create something like a CSV by exporting to text. You would have to write a formula that builds your comma seperated string, and then make sure it doesn't ever get wider than the page (landscape legal might help).

You might be able to use my Disk output UFL to manually write your disk file with the CSV formatting while the report is processing.

Not really an export - the CR calls the UFL for each line and builds the disk file while you are viewing the report, but the end result is the same.

I have similar UFL's to export to XML, SMTP and Outlook EMail.
