I want to preview a report in Crystal. How do I do it?

Choose File, Print Preview. You will be asked for a User ID and Password. Enter Earniepay and Intex.


What is the layout of the EARNIE data tables?

Within the EARNIE directory there is a document called Reports32.doc.

This document lists all the database tables and fields as well as a description of the fields used. It can also give you some help in writing reports for EARNIE in Crystal.


What version of Crystal Reports can I use with EARNIE?

EARNIE uses Crystal version 9, 10 or 11.


Where can I get advice about writing my own reports for EARNIE
using Crystal Reports?

You have a few options:

There is a Micrsoft Word document called REPORTS32.DOC in the EARNIE directory. This guides you through setting up a new report in Crystal, step by step. It also details all the tables you will need for reporting purposes. 

You can find the same information by going to the HELP menu and selecting TECH TIPS. Under the Contents look for 'Custom Reporting on EARNIE 32' and 'Nov 2000 Custom Reporting on Earnie 32'.

Alternatively, you could purchase Crystal Cover. This gives you access to telephone and email support from our Report experts.

Finally, see the Training section of this website as we are now running Crystal training courses around the country.


I am trying to run Crystal from EARNIE but it does not work, why?

If you are trying to run Crystal from the Earnie\Reports menu, Crystal needs to be installed on the same drive as Earnie and in a directory called \crw.
