Want to print out all formulas 6

[kridg]

Is there a way to print out the formulas that are used in a report? I know I can open each, copy and paste it to a Word document. I was trying to find a shortcut that will print them out for documentation purposes.

In Crystal Reports 7:
File Print Export with the format type being Report Definition.

Works perfectly in Version 8 also, thanks very much.

Check out ReportMinder.
It is a utility that formats the formulas very nicely and also provides lots of info about sections, etc. It can show formulas in use across a group of reports as well.

Hi,

What are crystal report definitions? Is there a way to generate a crystal report from a crystal report definition. I created one and it seems to handle the report objects but not the actual formatting (style, field location, etc.). Is there a corresponding report format definition?


thanks,

Only one Report definition available, the text file you get when you export to Report definition. You can't automatically create a report from the text file. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

There's a product called Speedspeccer too, with a shareware version available.

You can't build a report from it, but it creates pretty good documentation too.

The guys at cortex systems also have a pretty cool report documentation tool. It converts the rpt into an DB, so you can use their custom reports or even write you own against the DB (find me all the reports that use abc table; find me all the Sales Tax formulas, etc.)

You can find them at
