Crystal Reports - tell me this isn't true
Make the different query or view that has the same names as the ones you are
referring to, but have them pull from the "Next" year values. You can always
re-link the report to the new query and as long as the field names match, it
will "fix" itself. I have done it several times in my current project. I am
using crystal 8.5 I don't know if it's supported with any other version.
Good luck.
