  Previous topic Next topic  

To create a new report that uses the Advantage Crystal Reports driver:

1.Create a new report as you normally would with Crystal.
2.When prompted to select the data you will be reporting on, expand the 'Create New Connection' tree item.
3.Expand the 'Advantage' tree item. All Advantage alias entries will be shown in the list.
4.If you have never configured an Advantage alias, see Defining a Database Alias for use with Crystal Reports for a description and example ads.ini file. Select the desired Advantage entry in the list and continue developing the report. This is the only Advantage-specific selection you will have to make.
