Hi Guys,
How can I create a report to do the following in Crystal XI.
Say I want to select just the firstname,surname and date of birth for a class of pupils. The report must just include these 3 columns.
On another day I want to select all of the ablove plus the gender of each pupil. Now the report must show 4 columns.
How do I do it. I know how to do a report for a set amount of columns only. In other words, the columns must be dynamic
The easy way is to use two separate report files. One that has three columns and one that has four.
Hi Hack,
That method did cross my mind but I can't do that because I have alot of checkboxes that determines the criteria(columns) that will be displayed. The programer before me opened the list generated in Excel and then used a macro to draw lines to enclose all the data in a grid. The user feels that doing this and then running a macro is a lenghty process so I want to try Crystal.
Well, there probably are other ways to do it, but in my mind, this is the fastest and easiest.
