When we see the preview of crystal report (in Visual Studio) while designing the Report, it displays some random things like for number fields it displays numbers, for date field it displays dates similarly for text fields it displays color names, object names, etc. This is actually a preview NOT the data from Database. Next step is to do the coding. You need to create the report object, fill the data and then display the preview using "CrystalReportViewer" control.
Search for a some starting tutorial and you'll (inshaALLAH) get the idea. Regards, Arsalan Tamiz On Nov 14, 8:19 pm, Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using 2005 Pro. edition.
