    Is there any way to full justify report paragraphs ?

    It has the options Left, Right, Center and 'Distribute' for justification... and Distribute does just what it says on the last line as well as the others therefore looking awful. Any ideas ?

    I have an Access 2003 application which is set to automatically launch when the user runs it. To avoid security issues, I disable the database window, the status bar and the full menus using the Startup form. The users CAN still hold down the shift key when they run it, but I would like to...

    "there are no fields in the file" error using a stored proc

    I have a report which had a view attached to it which I have replaced with a stored proc (for efficiency... the view had a load of UNION ALLs but were pulling from the same tables so creating a temporary table and then doing the UNIONs is much faster) I am now getting a "There are no fields in...

    How do I display the Description of a Parameter ?

    In Crystal 8.5 I have a parameter from a Stored Procedure called @Check_Number. It is a number from 1 to 13. In Crystal, I have assigned descriptions to each of these values and set the parameter to only show the Description when prompting the user. For example, value 1 has the description...

    Tips for successful Reporting from SQL Server...

    1. Use (nolock) hints for EVERY table used in any report query. This is most commonly done by including the hint in any reporting Views and Stored Procedures (unless the SP is doing an update). Ideally, it should be done even in the transactional queries whenever a dirty read is acceptable...

    Replacing multiple Tables with a single View

    In Crystal 8.5, I have a number of reports that use multiple tables (actually multiple linked views). I am replacing these queries with a single view for each report since this is MUCH faster in this particular environment. However, while I can set the location of the multiple original views so...

    Displaying different Logos on a report for each client

    We have thousands of clients and want to be able to display each client's logo when they run the reports. For example, for client A we want logo A, for client B we want logo B etc. The only two ways I can think of to do this are; 1. Have multiple header sections and only display the relevent...

    I have a number of users who need Macros installed in Excel on their machines. Currently, we add the relevent macros to their individual xlstart directories.

    Spawning a child process

    Is there any way to spawn a child process in VBA for Excel ? I want to write a program to automatically check a folder for files every few minutes and, if it finds a file there to run a conversion utility in Excel.
