Write your own bespoke reports with ease.....
Business Objects (the creators of Crystal Reports) help businesses make better
decisions by bringing together their people and their information. As a
world-leading information management company, it has been providing
best-of-breed reporting, analysis and information delivery products and services
for over 15 years.
To create a report, you begin by specifying a data source, which in the Standard
Edition can be any of the established desktop database types including Microsoft
Access, Microsoft FoxPro, dBase and even Microsoft SQL Server via OLE DB. From
here you choose which tables and fields you use via a point-and-click interface.
More advanced users can choose to directly edit SQL to select the data they
require.
The report can then be designed using a comprehensive set of tools offering more
than 100 formatting options. These can include different fonts, text rotation
and images as well as sub-reports and special functions that can control report
formatting, data selection and more. New to Crystal Reports is the ability to
handle Unicode. This allows you to produce reports in almost any language
including those that write from right to left. You can even mix and match
multiple languages within the same report.
