Crystal Report: How to make it

[Pioneer]

Hi,

Could you let me know:

In Crystal report, how can I make it accept Values? I am making a form
in crystal and it would be filled by user.

Thanks

I think you are trying to use the wrong tool for your needs.
Crystal Reports mainly is used for reporting (organizing data and
analyses, charts and such in a printable form).

While there is a possibility to have paramter fields to control the
layout and some other things, it is basically not intended to do forms
design.

If you are using MS office, you should take a look at InfoPath.

You need to clarify what you want.
You can create a report with parameters, if you do not assign a value
for those parameters CR will display a dialog for you to enter values
for them.

One idea:

Use the PUSH method.

Create a strong dataset.

Fill in the values (before calling Crystal Report)

Then "push" the dataset to your report.


THe values would be collected BEFORE running your CR.
You collect the values. Put them into the strong dataset.
Then PUSH the strong dataset to the report.
