Question

Hi,
Could anyone help me, I'm trying to use a number value of one of the applications my.settings for a field in a Crystal Report.
Is there any way to do this?
Thankyou

Answer 1

Hi,

What is the datasource of the report?
If it's a dataset, you can read the data in setting files into the dataset and display them on the report.
if not , you might need to add a subreport to display them.

Here is a totorial about how to connect dataset, please take a look at it :

Answer 2

Hi Harry,
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm using an Access Database .mdb as the datasource.
Don't know if that link will help me. I just want to have a field on my report that uses the value of a setting, My.Settings.VNO.Value.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Crystal report can not connect to setting file directly.
You might need to first read the content of the setting file into a table of typed dataset , then connect the dataset to report.
