Alex, thanks again.
Sometimes I get very narrow focused and can't see the forest for the trees.
I was already using a CF template I had written, that stripped the email
adresses from the text file that Outlook Express (Mac) saves it's emails in.
I was ftping that text file to the CF server and
I got the error on CF 5. Well I am testing it on this as we are moving the
server to that soon.
Are you saying that CF5 will only work with Crystal 8 ??
If that is the case will CF 4.5 work with crystal reports 7 or what version
of crystal does that expect ??
any help would be great.
thanks
