Report Definition in Crystal

Hi, everyone -
I just had a quick query that I was hoping one of the experts out there could help me with:

I remember, when we used WinQL as our previous report generator, the software provided a "report definition" print option. This would allow me to print off a page with the fields, formulas, groupings, etc. for reports so that I could recreate my report in what we now have -- Crystal 8.5.

Now that we are changing our housing program software from a DOS-based system to a Windows-based software, the vendor is telling me that I'll have to AGAIN :eek: recreate my Crystal reports because the fields will all be different.

I'm wondering whether Crystal provides the same sort of "report definition" print option so I can print off the reports I need to recreate without having to guess at the formulas..... I've looked around Crystal and wasn't able to locate anything like this.

Thanks for the help.I'm not sure about 8.5 but in developer 10 under exports there is an option to print the report definitions.

UUUGGG... :blush: :blush: :blush: I guess I didn't scroll down far enough under Export. I did find it though.

Thanks for the help!!!sql
