Crystal report forum

Hi,
Can anyone point me to a Crystal Report forum where there is good amount of traffic? I came across certain sites through Google but they didn't seem to have much activity.

Thanks.

www.businessobjects.com is the official site of crystal reports and they have a forum. But so do we... so what exactly do you need help with?

Thanks. Must be out of minds; didn't search here for one.
The problem I was facing was more of a design issue for which I'd done a posting here. Since the reply was not coming forthwith (even the viewings were absymally low ) so thought of asking this question. Now I think I've got a workaround to the problem (please correct me if I'm wrong). What I'm going to do now is create a dataset1.xsd file. Since I know what are the column names that are going to be there in the grid, I'll create a datatable from the items there (the grid is unbound) and then try to feed the data from this datatable to the "Table Element" that I've created in the dataset1.xsd. Still to test this out. Let's see how this plan turns out to be and will post back if faced with any specific problem.
Thanks.

If I catch you right, then I have done just what you are talking about.

I create the data in VB.NET at run time, and then pass it over to the crystal report to display it. So the crystal report never actually hits a database, the data is all queried in VB first, and simply passed to the report.

That's correct. The only difference between what you've done and I'm trying is that I've created a .xsd and from there placing the fields onto the report at design time. Now presently facing the problem of attaching the DataTable that I've created from the grid to the Table I've created in the .xsd. Any idea how I can achieve this?

The page doesn't open up due the restrictions clamped as business rules.
Still trying...

thats what I had done. I created an XSD from the datatable schema, then created a report at design time using the XSD as the data source. Then at run time I can create the datatable, and simply pass it to the report.

That link i posted that you said you can't get to should contain an example on how to do this. Can you access it from home instead maybe?
