Crystal Reports

Evil Phil

Does anybody know of a good online resource for CR? Coming from a Lotus Notes perspective.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA welcome to hell. All I can say is I pitty you I really do. As for CR Resources the only ones I've come across are on the the seagate software site http://www.seagatesoftware.com but they aint much good (well at least when I was looking last anyway). I managed to convince my company to start moving more towards OLAP which is a lot more fun (until clients here of a thing called writeback) and powerful. If you can be swayed to OLAP I would recommend http://www.proclarity.com/ as the client tool I can even give you thye eval version of it Version 3 or 4. Befor anyone askes it is legal and not warez.

Fortunatly it's not for me, thank god. It's for my sister.

offroadannie

is there anybody who can offer any advice?? (for the sister!)on the above

kayos

I give you any advice I can. But what sort of info do you want to know about it? There used be a newsgroup on the microsoft newsgroups for CR but I dont know if its still there. But anyway if you need advice just ask the question and I'll try. My first piece of advice is learn to controll your temper as CR likes to anoy ppl somewhat.

Boss: The whole call center has gone down
Me: Huggghhhh I'll take a look
5 minutes later
Me: I've found the problem
Boss: Well what was it?
Me: Crystal Reports crashed out MTS again!!!

CR has caused me much hearth ache in the past but I've writtena few compentents to stop it taking out MTS due to that crappy OCX that used ship with it . Anyway if you've a question fired it up...

Hiya (Everybody say hello to my sister)

http://www.crystaluser.com looks good too, and it has usergroups. http://www.crystal-reports.com could be ok but I didn't really look at it properly.

Dominopower.com has an article on CR at:
http://www.dominopower.com/issues/issue200007/crystal0700001.html

They've loads of other notes stuff too.

offroadannie

have developed a lotus notes system which must produce some "spectacular" reports which it doesn't - they look crap - want to use cr so nicer (!) reports can be used

help!

kayos
