>I need to figure out how to perform a count "for" a condition. I can get the total by creating a formula Count({field}) and that work fine by returning 5.
>In the FoxPro report tool, I would just create a function (PRG) with some SQL code that performed the counts and then return a formatted string. Can this be done similarily in Crystal Reports? Of course, the entire report is done except for this one last item: Labor Codes in the header. I have a need specifically for just the check boxes, but an added bonus would be the counts, but they are not necessary. Is there a way to perform a Locate against the ODBC Access record set to see if there are any HL's or CN's? I am alos using the Record Selection formula to filter the data. I am not currently using any views, only real tables from a single Access database. tia... Steve


I ended up creating a view for the project table with the two counts I needed since I could not calculate the values within CRW. Anyone used BRIO yet? It has been getting good press reports.
