I am working on a report that is being created in Crystal but part of the information comes from our SQL server tables and the other part comes from a table created in dbase IV. The information from the dbase IV is braught into a SQL server table but everthing that is converted comes in as a nvarchar. Do to this anything that would orginally be a nuber is not changing to be used for adding totals together. I had a work around that was working for getting just the sum by itself but would not be recognized for bringing into the Crystal Report to be linked with the other two tables already used. (1 from SQL Server for amounts, and other converted from dbase IV for address information)
