This section guides you through several aspects of the report creation process. Use the Contents tab of this online help to navigate to a particular topic.
After deciding which option you want to use for creating your report (see Report creation options), the next step is to select a data source to use.
Most data sources can be chosen through the Data Explorer dialog box. The Data Explorer appears when you choose Database in a Report Expert, or when you create a report from scratch using As a Blank Report.
Note: This procedure uses the Report Experts to show you how to select a data source. The Data Explorer dialog box is used the same way for reports created from scratch.
On the Standard toolbar, click New.
The Crystal Report Gallery appears.
The first tab in each Expert is a Data tab. Use the options on this tab to select your data source through the Data Explorer dialog box.
