 Refresh Data at Crystal Reports run time

Hello

I am using VB 4 to print out a report that I have prepared in Crystal
Reports.  The problem I have is that the program is not re-reading the
data, and is infact using the data from when the report was created, which
is not satisfactory.

Can anyone shed any light on how to re-read the data (it is store in a
Jet/Access .MDB file)?

Thanks in advance

Let's sing it one more time, all together...
'Open your report at CRW,  doobedooooo...
Check OFF the option -Save data with report-  dooobedaaaaa....
Check ON the option -Verify on every print-  dooobedooobedoooo..
Save your report,   duduaaaaaa'
That works, doesn't it?

If you are a newbie, just consider this as a little joke. If you are not, or
you intend to use this kind of questions to 'collect' e-mail addresses and
send information about your wonderful company or products, you are a bad boy
and you will be sent to the hell of cobol programmers...

Anyway, forgive me if you consider yourself flamed with this comments (but
next time you should try to read the online help first...)

Hope this helps,
Fernando.

You'll probably find your answer by noticing probably the dumbest
default setting (ihmo) in the history of computing: Under the File
menu in Crystal, make sure the 'Save Data With Report' option is
unchecked. For some reason, they decided that most users would want
to create reports where the data never changes.........

There's an option: "store data with report when saved" or something like this.
Remember: when you save a erport and then DESELECT this option, your report
still have the data with it: you'll have to both deselect the option in the
options tab and that in the Report menu (this last one is related to the
report currently openened).

Hope this helps! :)
