    Trying to query a database and output to a Crystal Report

    First, let me apologize for being such a noob... I know next to nothing about coding, but this project was dumped in my lap anyway.

    I have the forms that plan to use set up, and am connected to my SQL database. What I need to do is when I click my search button, the app will take the contents of the text and combo boxes on the form, match the contents to records in the database, and output them to a Crystal Report. I think I can figure out how to get the output to the form, but I can't figure out how to format the search. Any guidance would be appreciated.

    You need to set up parameters. These can be seen in the Field explorer pane in Crystal. Simply create a new parameter and this will allow you to link to specific fileds. Inside the parameter editor, you can also set the search format. Please let me know if this helps. If so then please add to my reputation points.

    Thanks
