    Suppressing $ signs in details

    I have detail records then a summary and want the $ sign to show up only on the first detail per group. I tried to do this by having a conditional formula in Format Editor, Number, Customize, Currency Symbol for the "Enable Currency Symbol". I figured this was a boolean field, so I tried to...

    Top N Reporting: Running Totals vs. Summary Totals

    I'm looking at G Peck's "Crystal Report 9", p. 168 and trying to do the exercise. It seems to me that you can't do "Top N" reporting with a running total. When I have a report with one group (Country) and a Running total that summarizes Last_Years_Sales, the "Group Sort Expert" button is...

    Serving up Reports

    What is the basic method for providing reports to users? This is for a small organization, one database, the goals are: - a nice facility to view reports - reports are viewed in "runtime" mode, i.e., not from within Crystal "designer". - menu'ing facility - logon on once Thanks. Bill

    CRCP Exam # 1, more difficult than I thought

    I just took the 1st exam (RDCR200A) and it was harder than I expected. The questions are very fine-grained so it became a test-taking challenge as opposed to knowing how to write a report. I had minimal experience with Crystal prior to the test but spent considerable time reading G. Peck's...

    Parameters, how to display in Report Header

    I'm working on Ch 14 of the Crystal 9-Complete Reference (George Peck), specifically p. 386. I've created three parameter fields but can't get the entered values to display on the Preview tab as they do on the screen shot on p. 386. Here's what my Preview tab displays: Customer Name includes...

    I was playing around with date selections and got unexpected results, using Xtreme database First I created a parameter for Order Date, but all records were retrieved, even though I entered 1/1/2003 to 12/31/2003. Then I tried the Select Expert, that worked fine, but I prefer to use a...
