A Crystal Report Interface is available. This function allows the user to view any custom Crystal Report that has been compiled into an Executable and loaded into the "User Defined Report Setup" screen. WITHOUT having to have any Crystal Report software loaded on this machine.
To view the Custom Crystal Reports once they have been linked in ManEx user must have the VFPODBC Drivers installed. For further detail on how to install these drivers see Article #3072 .
We are currently using CR XI Developer, but our new Library files should work with previous versions. You no longer need to compile your reports using Crystal Reports Designer software. You can now attach your Crystal Report in the User Defined Reports Setup and run them in ManEx.
