Where can I find some recommended standards on designing forms, such as button sizes, distances between fields and frames...? Thanx in advance!

How can I make a disabled field appear differently? Problem is, that field style gray text on gray background is almost invisible. I'd like to make it more visible (black on gray, maybe), but leave it disabled. Is there some property I could change?

I need to print a variable generated in a subreport, before the subreport is printed. Both the variable and subreport are placed in report footer. I don't want to step through a large table in subreport twice... Is there any trick?

In my table, I have an index based on a float-field. How does Btrieve handle that? Is there some kind of algorythm how to transform 8-byte number into a string representing the appropriate key-value? It would be very useful, so if anyone knows please let me know.

Just to let you know, this problem has been resolved with CR9. Check out this link: http://support.crystaldecisions.com/library/kbase/articles/c2011893.asp It works!

Dgillz: My problem is that I actually can connect natively to my Btrieve database, but there's something very wrong with table-linking. Roadkill: I tried verifying database, nothing changed. Any other hints? Do you use CR9 with Btrieve successfully? Thanks.

Dgillz: What do you mean - does not support? What about that option in Database Expert - Available data sources - Btrieve?? Is it there only to confuse us?! Is there anything about that 'little change' documented? Thanks a lot, T.

I installed CR 9 trial-version and now I have some problems with table linking. I was using CR 8.5 before, with Btrieve database. When I open some of my old reports, I don't get the right data... most of my records are missing. If I create a simple new report with CR 9, using a direct...

Please help - I'd like to show 2 data series changing over time for a few different groups, in a single chart - that means some kind of a 3D line chart (x-time, y-values, z-groups). I'v tried, but no success. How ???

It looks like something is really wrong with field.ddf - those field-names appear there, too. I'll try to fix it somehow. Thanks for helping.

The reports used to work ok, except once I had a report that was repeating each record from "strange" table twice (I'm trying to simulate that behaviour again). When I connect using ODBC, fields look fine. If I verify the database, everything remains the same. ?!?

I'm using direct connection to a btrieve database and there's a problem with 2 tables. All the field-names are shown twice: once normally, and second time field-name gets a prefix NN_. So the table looks like this: field_name1 NN_field_name1 field_name2 NN_field_name2 ... When I try browsing on...

I have 2 subreports in my Details section. From those subreports, I'm collecting a value (sum), which is then shown in Group footer. I use shared variables. Sometimes there are no records to display in Details-section. In that case, in would be nice to hide Group header and footer. I have no...

Is it possible to rename File/Field/Index.ddf ? I might have to put 2 databases with different dictionaries in the same directory. Can I avoid the conflict with *.ddf names? Don't believe I can, but I must ask... Thanks

I would like to group my records like this: Field1 Group0 empty or equal to '#00000000' Group1 value1 Group2 value2 ... GroupN valueN So, I want different groups for different values, except for empty and null value of Field1 - which I want to put together in 1 group. How do I do...
