Problem adding StrTok function to 8.5

[BringNothing]

This may be a lame question....but I'm new to this...!

I'm trying to look at a crosstab report example that Crystal Decisions has posted (called "WPR Formulae In Crosstabs&quot...but keep erroring when I open it....a formula within the report uses the "StrTok" function...but "StrTok" is not recognized as a function on my workstation...

When I've tried to add the function (by downloading and running Crystal's ufltech1.exe file, then copying the dll to my WinNT/Crystal folder), it won't "take"; that is, even if I try to write a new formula in a different report, the "StrTok" function goes unrecognized...have restarted....no luck...I'm using Crystal 8.5 (Developer) on a Win2K box....

I'm missing something simple, right? Please help!

I am not sure what this function does, but with any function you try to "add" to crystal, you must register the .dll using regsvr32 so that crystal recognizes it.

Have you done this?

Also, it does not matter where you place the .dll, as long as it is registered, although I agree that winnt/crystal is a logical place to put it. Software Sales, Training, Implementation and Support for Exact Macola, eSynergy, and Crystal Reports

Thanks dgillz!

Actually, I found I was copying over the wrong dll! Went back and got the right ones from Crystal decisions, copied them over and now have the strtok function goin'...

Thanks again! bn
