Hello,

PROBLEM DEFINITION: Create a table of contents in CR 8.5 with XML as datasource which is converted into a dataset.
The TOC should be displayed on the first page. TOC should display the heading as well as the sub headings with page numbers. The main report contains 4 subreports.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
Create formula fields(Heading/ Sub heading and page numbers) in each section of the main report. Capture these formula fields in VB.NET dataset and pass this dataset to the report to be generated again. Overhead is to generate the report twice.

QUESTION(S):
Am I on the right track. If not what could be the possible solutions. How do I capture the values of formula fields in VB.NET


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
