I have a Crystal repoort with a ton of formatting that I've already done, and now I need to add a new database field to the report. Problem is if I go through the report expert its going to reset all my formatting. When I right click and choose insert, the "field" option is disabled. Anybody know how I can insert a database field without losing my formatting? Thanks
 
Nevermind...I found a work around. I created a dummy report, with the new database fields I needed, and then copied/pasted them onto my original report.
 
Do you already have the table on the report? If so, you should just have to use the "Verify Database" to get the new field added to the field list. If you used a command to get your data, you should beable to just alter the command and crystal will add the field. If you need to move to a different database, use the "update database" option, sometimes you can switch DBs using it w/o losing all of your report fields and formating.
