Hi Leroy,
You need to follow two rules when building the component. First, the project name must begin with CRUFL. When Crystal Reports launches, it scans the registry for any components using this naming convention.
Second, you must define parameter and return types. If you fail to do this, Crystal Reports will not recognize the component. This requires that you use VFP 7.0 to create UFLs as previous versions do not support this.
Once you do this, the component will show up in the Formula Editor's Function window under "Additional Functions".
