Rpt Source Code? 1

[jcninwisc]

Hi,
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to print out all the code behind a particular report file. i.e. all the formulas, selection criteria, etc. used in the report. Is this possible in Crystal Reports 9? Are there 3rd party tools that can do this?

Thanks!

One of the export formats is 'Report Definition'.

There are also 3rd-party report documentation utilities listed at:

Can anyone answer why, in CRv9 (developer), the export to report definition is an option, but it is prompted me to insert the cd for CRv9? Is this feature part of a custom installation? And if it was, why would it be available as an export format?

That means that when Crystal was installed, the Installer option was set to "Install this feature the first time it is used", or something to that effect.

A Full install should have included it, whereas a Typical installation might not have actually installed it.

Note that there are lots of good 3rd party solutions for this as well, which can do batch documentation and provide more information:
