Telling a Crystal Report to use another database
Hi Tejonath,
I use CR6.0 Pro and that install includes a developer help file describing
the various API calls you can make. I've also had to do something similar,
and that helps alot to. *grin* The link mentioned in Polo's reply helps
to. :) When you get a chance you should puruse the Seagate site and just
get a feel for what they have. This groups also a good resource. :)
Cheers,
--George
