A work around would be to bind a checkbox to a field in the table/query and then have the button tick or untick the checkbox

Hi, I want to create a conditional format to format telephone numbers. Basically our phone numbers are made up of the code and the telNo. Normally the code doesn't have a 0, but sometimes it does, normally the telNo doesn't have the code but sometimes it does. What I want is a formula to...

Ok - thanks for this. I will see if the developers calling the reports can incorparate code for this. Thanks again, Ian

Cheers for this, sorry to be so basic (pardon the pun), but how and where do I edit code in Crystal Reports? Formula Workshop?

Hi, I am new to Crystal and was wondering if there was a way to set control properites in code. For instance how to set all the lines in Detail to "Extend to bottom of section when printing" or to set all the text boxes to "Can Grow". Doing each one manually is a bit tedious thats all. I need...

Hi, I am using a parameter query in Access based on values on a form. I want to use an if statement to determine which part of the query is ran. i.e. if forms!frm.control = "this" then select * from tbl else select * from tbl2 How do I do this? Thanks Ian

Hi, I am using the Brainstorming Shapes in Visio to do a SSM conceptual model. I like the way the way the the connector and lines move around objects placed in their paths. Does anyone know how I can get a line with a single arrow head to work in the same way? Cheers Ian

You star AlsGal52, I thought I had tried everything, but I hadn't! Thanks so much - saved me loads of time. Ian

Thanks for that, I tried both those techniques before I posted, but they don't do what I need. What I want to be able to do is to change all the Styles to have no shading - there is a different Style for each block of text, so doing it manually will be tedious. The attribute is accessed by...

Hi, I have OCRed a scaned doc into Word, that went well. However for all the text it has created a style with a shading of white. I can manaully remove the shading easily enough, but every block of text has its own style so it would take a while. How do I modify all the styles in one go...

The numbers all updated when I printed the report. I think I got around this by print previewing - or actully printing but canceling the job before it hit the paper. Give that a try

Everything sems to be working fine - Fingers crossed!

I have many queries and do not relish the thought of right click edit, hit the green arrow over and over again... The only change I can think of was the large import of data using using DTS... Oh well. Thanks for your help. Ian

I can across the problem when I was running a report using the query in my app. I looked at the query in EM and it seemed fine. I then edited and ran the query in QA, while making no chages, and it worked. Odd. The query works fine now. Is there a way to "re alter" all queries in one go, so...

Hi, Following importing lots of new data I have found that some of my queries only work after I "re alter" them in QA. By "re alter" I mean that I edit it and then run it without making any changes. I expect the problem was caused by the import, but why do I need to "re alter" my queries for...
