Hi, I am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. I have a table of streets (central_site) Against this I need to run a report to show ( for a single street ) whether that street has had any jobs, enquiries or defects in a set time period. the associated tables for this...

Hi, before I go completely out of my mind I am hoping someone has come across this before and hopefully has a solution. Although just knowing I am not alone and not seeing things would be a biog help! I am using crystal XI reporting on a SQl 2005 database. The report is relatively...

Oh goodness me of course it is. The sheet was hidden so I never thought why there was an exclamation. Long day no lunch. Thank you!

Hi, I have been asked to fix someone elses spreadsheet which is giving unexpected results but I have fallen at the first hurdle as the formula ( a nested if statement) makes use the edit! command, but I have no idea what is is actually doing. Can anyone advise, as searching for edit brings...

HI, thanks for the quick response, i tried a cross tab, but none of the calculated fields are avaiable to add to the crosstab. I am a little hazy on where to go next. Do I have to create a variable for each field to make them avaliable - not entirely sure how to go about it. Each of the...

Hi, Can anyone help with this: I have a report looking at hours worked to calcuate pay (so quite important to get right). Rates are paid at one level for the first 37 hours, and a different rate thereafter. I have a report which calculates per person these figures. However I then need to sum...

makes a lot of sense, which makes a nice change. I thank you

Could you clarify for me then - what is the local system account it defaults to - I assumed this was the account I was logging on with - which has admin rights, hence my confusion. You obviously have a good understaning of this and it will help me pass this knowledge ono others here. Much...

Ha ha! I had tried this and got a "cannot restart logon incorrect" error. but I persevered on your advice - and it turns out I need to add the domain to the logon name, and you have to press apply AND ok, otherwie it doesn't save! Thanks for the reply, all now well. CB

Hi, I hope someone can help, I know a number of people have reported similar issues but I have not found a solution. I am using Crystal reports 10 and enterprise v10 over XP. I have a report which is linked to 2 databases - a SQL database with logon information which I have saved in...

Hi Skip, thanks for the reply yes I can adjust these settings and have tried this, I can get the whole thing to print but it is too small to read once it fits, and it looks very poor as the art work is designed to fit edge to edge. It printed fine like this as a test run before it was...

Hi, I am trying to print a document from adobe reader 8 but I am losing the bottom few lines of the documnet. In the print dialog box I have noticed this error only occurs where the document size is larger than the paper size (as displayed under the preview image). Does anyone know if this is...

Hi, I have ad a good look around and as I can't find anything about this I assume it can't be done - but I live in hope. I currently have the following statment: {If{Mergefield "PE"}="M11" "monday" {If Mergefield "PE"}="M12" "tuesday" If{Mergefield "PE"}="M13 "wednesday" {If{Mergefield...

No, I checked that and it was definitely null, if I trasnfer the criteria into a field expression it retuns true for field being null - I just can't find a way of using that. It works with the additioanl code table so I guess it will do. Just frustrating when logic seems to fail. Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply again, I cheated in the end - I created a linked table applying a code to each type - then anything other just filters on code O, not clever but it worked and I had to get the report out. Now the pressure is off I will look at your last suggestion - but I would love to...
