Where is the @#$% documentation?! 1

[Durkin]

Hi, I've got the bundled version of CR that comes with VS.NET and I can't find documentation for it anywhere. I haven't use Crystal Reports in a few years so it's pretty important to have a reference particularly for the formula functions.
Any pointers would be enormously appreciated especially by the Crystal Descisions people cause if I don't see some documentation soon I'm going to wring their necks.;-)

No such thing. Crystal Decisions people, that is, they're all Business Objects people now.

No sense of humor at this stage?

OK:

I've seen this documentation in VS but it doesn't have a comprehensive functions reference as far as I can see. Anyway, I found a document here:

http://smtp.asc-iseries.com/asc/docs/sequel_cro.pdf

that has all of the functions listed and documented.

I think my sense of humour is slowly returning.

I installed MSDN with my .NET and I have a Crystal Reports
Formula Reference that shows up as a topic when I search
Help inside VS.NET.

The MSDN also says that more information is available in
cr8_formularef.zip from

http://support.crystaldecisions.com/updates

Hope this helps!

Great! Thanks, that's exactly the file I was looking for. Why it doesn't just ship with vs I don't know.
Thanks again,

Durkin

Here is a quote from a friend of mine who does a lot of work with .NET and Crystal. "Crystal Decision's documentation of using Crystal with .NET is extensive and mainly wrong."
