Tauf and David,

Thanks for the reply. The product claims that you can create a formula
using an SQL based formula, but when I tried it, the report stopped
working.  Also how do you do a table in a smart reports?  They seem to have
a lot of graphs but no tables.

Also I don't believe that our customer is willing to spring for BMC
Analytics, though they are extremely dependent on our Crystal Reports right
now and I don't think Smart Report is going to be able to handle it.

I've watched the videos on-line.  Do you know if there is any other
training available out there?

Thanks again,
