    Hi, I'm usng Crystal 9 & accessing Lotus Notes via an ODBC connection.

    Advice on Report Distribution Required!!

    Hi, This is more an advice query rather than a specific. I work for a fairly IT illiterate company,(some staff are still unsure about what the mouse is!!) but we need staff to get their own information out of the databases for management meetings etc, rather that rely on one or two members of...

    Hi, My boss wants a report that looks at the next 20 records after the Top N (20) records, without having to count them out himself. Is there a formula that I can use to exclude the first set of results in a top N sort? Cheers Alex

    Hi, Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong with this formula, it only returns the correct data relating to the first part of the statment. If I swap the "e" & "E" around it just works the other way. I have tried the lowercase function, but am not entirely sure where to put it - any help...

    Maximum String Length

    Using Crystal 9 to query Notes 6.5 Each document in our notes database has an editing history which (as far as I am aware) can grow infinitely. When I use the field "EditHistoryEventList" in Crystal it is only returning the first 254 characters. I may need to analyse data beyond the 254, is...
