Anyone created Crystal design tools / aids?

[SteveBell]

Has anyone created any worksheets or design tools/aids to help with development of Crystal reports? I'm halfway through writing an Excel spreadsheet that documents columns, fields, formulas, ...; but I'd rather not recreate the wheel.

I'm looking for something that I can use to simplify the design process for complex reports.

Thanks,
Steve Bell

I'm familar with Report Miner. It's a pretty good set of tools, but it's designed for documenting reports that already exist. I'm looking for tools to use in planning. Something like an interview form to fill out with the user would be a good start.

That sounds like a GREAT idea.
