I have urgent question....
I have computed/expression values in my dataset that i pass as the
datasource for a report but when i refernce these fields from the report some
have correct values others return incorrect values (zero or null)... any
ideas would be welcome

Without seeing your code - my guess is -

The zero or null values are on those rows that were added before the
column's expression was set.

In other words --- try moving the setting of the expression to as early in
the logic chain as u can.

im using a strongly typed dataset so i set the expression at design
time....what about the the links Order in the visual linking expert would
this affect the outcome. when i dump the dataset to xml file before i pass it
to the report viewer form it dumps all correct data with all expression
fields calculated so i just dont understand what is wrong?

Hmm .. so your dataset is fine .. maybe it's the binding or crystal report
specific problem.
I'm outta ideas here man .. but I'd look for one additional thing - the
particular fields that are problematic, is there a common pattern between
those? like the crystal reports field isn't wide enough or something funky
like that?

Sorry to say but crystal in my eyes is designed to make .NET programmers
look bad.
