Crystal
Reports is one of the most powerful
reporting programs available, having the ability to pull data from
all types of data sources. You can use Crystal Reports to
generate reports from any of the standard PC database programs, as well
as from a mainframe or server database.
Trying
to produce "presentation quality" reports? Crystal
Reports is the tool for you. Pie charts, bar charts, cross-tab
summary tables and nested subreports are a sampling of the options
available for enhanced formatting of your reports.
Full
Circle Computing can acquaint you with the many powerful features of
Crystal Reports. This month's Trainer Tip highlights just one of
them -- how to hyperlink objects.

Use
hyperlinks to your advantage in Crystal. Did you know that many
Crystal Reports objects can be used as hyperlinks? A hyperlinked
object allows a report user to click the object (in preview view) and
be automatically directed to another file, a web page, or an email
message with a pre-defined recipient already filled into the
"to" field. And even better yet, if you export reports
to HTML or PDF formats, the hyperlinks go along for the ride --
creating dynamic, interactive reports that really assist the user.
Take
advantage of this feature by right clicking a text box, image, or
virtually any field on your report, select the format option, then look
for a hyperlink tab in the formatting dialog box. You can even
vary the hyperlink context sensitive to your data by clicking the X-2
button just to the right of the hyperlink name text box, and creating
an if statement or select case formula that dynamically sets the
hyperlink.
Learn how to take full advantage of all of Crystal's
powerful features by joining us for a 2-day class. See dates
