MrBillsc - I liked the A to B and A to C option but can't use it since I have an OBDC connection to these files. I will look into the subreport suggested by synapsevampire. I should have posted this but I am using CR 8.5. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks one and all for the input! RB5 - after reading your post I am a bit confused. Perhaps the RAID1 is more expensive when you get to LARGE machines. On the quotes I have from Dell - the RAID5 is 10% higher than the quote for RAID1. The current server has 2 20 GIG drives (RAID 1). Theses...

I am configuring a new server. I don't know if I should choose the less expensive Raid 1 or go with the Raid 5. This server is a Dell PwerEdge 1600 SC. It is used mostly as an application server but also functions as a document server. Nothing high powered or huge. Just normal stuff for a...

Thanks all for your help! I think that I will download the evaluation version of CR onto my laptop and see if I can run a copy of the reports with a copy of her data. I may be back with questions, if I can't get that going! Your help is immensely appreciated!

Soory to be so long getting back to you all. I had a chance to look around on this computer. There is an exe file and a bunch of rpt files. In plain non-cr-user words, my assumption is that the exe file contains code for the screens and code to groom the data for delivery to the rpt files...

Thanks for responding! I tried to call the lady to ask her to look at a few things for me. She is not in today but will be tomorrow. I will call then. I think that this software was probably created with a version of CR that was in use in 2000 or so. The lady said that she had been waiting...

Does Crystal Reports support a runtime exe or do they have to have CR installed on their computer to run the reports? This lady mentioned that another tech was able to "copy some stuff off my computer, take it to his computer and run my reports". This sounds to me as though she has...

First of all -- I am NOT familiar with Crystal Reports but I am trying to help a desparate potential client. She tells me that someone wrote them a piece of software using CR. She tells me that she only has an executable (and I assume data files). Programmer is long gone. She tells me that...

Forever humble here... I read (and appreciated) your responses. I now understand that I only need to read and clear events ONCE in a program. Okay - got that. I even went and read all the stuff I could find in the help files... But I haven't been ablt to answer my question. Here is what I...

Once again ... Thanks for setting me straight!

Ha! You guys thought I had dried up and gone away. No such luck - sorry. I am back with more dumb questions... I know I have read about this but can't find the thread... I have 3 forms: main - textual data input subform1 - text message with continue button only subform2 - text message...

Good Point! I'll remember that! FAC

Ian, Oh well - another mystery will remain so. Thanks for your help! FAC
