In the meantime, you could try that "rpt Inspector" ad I'm seeing at the top o' this page.

Many, many moons ago, I wrote an application that would do this sort of thing. It was a way of documenting all the formulas/running totals/etc within an rpt file. I'll see if I can dig it up. -dave

gegeying, Apologies for the hijack... LB, My wife is still doing the soap thing, but not putting very much energy into it (the kids, 4 and 7, are still sucking the life out of her). We do have a few retailers that are doing pretty well with it though, especially right now, with the holidays...

How's it goin' LB? For the record, that was going to be my backup solution, but who wants to deal with all of that running total mucky-muck if you can just get those records the heck out of there to begin with? -dave

You'll be able to most efficiently do this if your database/connectivity supports use of SQL Expression fields. Is the field that contains the 'Name' field in the same table as the Workorder? In any case, the SQL Expression field would look something like this *(name it 'TempCount')...

Wireshark is, among other things, a packet sniffer. I have it running listening for traffic on port 2077 (which is the port I have to use to send/receive from the server). So I can see that the server is sending the response, but not until I disconnect the socket. I've tried ReadString also...

Thanks, I tried that method earlier as well, but it hangs when it gets to ReadLn.

I have an application that needs to connect via a socket to a server, send an XML request, then receive a response. Sounds pretty simple, right? FWIW, I've never used sockets before. The vendor of the server has given me sample C#.NET code for connecting/sending/receiving. That's great, and...

There was a thread a couple of years ago where someone was wondering the same thing. I ended up finding a MS whitepaper showing hot to get to various file properties, which would allow you to get to the image, and the OP returned with his complete code (VB): thread149-1019249 -dave

Do you have a 'Field Definitions' option under More Data Sources? If so, that's what you want (I don't have cr10 installed here, but that's where it is in crXI). -dave

Version? Oh well, this is for XI... Right click your formula field on the report canvas > Format Field > Font tab > next to Color, click the conditional formula button [x+2]. Then write a formula that returns the proper color constant based on your conditions: if {Table.Field) = 1 then...

Trying to keep my head above water, k, which ain't always easy. Since my role here switched from report developer to application developer, then to THE ONLY application developer, I've been maintaining our big fat program now. I've got a cadre of minions to do all the silly reporting stuff...

Also, be aware you need to have a Developer version of Crystal in order to use the RDC components in your application. -dave

You can try downloading Visual Studio Installer, and using that to create an installer w/the merge modules. Here's a link to the deployment whitepaper - it should help you get something together: Creating an RDC XI Distribution Package. It also has a link to MS to get the Visual Studio Installer.
