Adding Field to Stored Procedure for Crystal Reports

[Scott]

Hello:

I have a stored procedure for generating our invoices in Crystal
Reports. I have added a new field to the SP, but when I try to add the
field to my Crystal Report invoice, the field isn't available in the
list. However, if I create a new, blank report using the same stored
procedure as the datasource, the field is available. I've seemingly
tried every iteration of "Verify Database" to no avail.

The obvious answer would be to simply drop the sp from my existing
report and then re-add it. However, if you do this, all your fields on
the report are dropped.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

You probably get a better answer in a forum devoted to Crystal Reports.

In my shop we use ttx-files as the "database" for our report, so the
report has no connection to the SQL Server database. If one adds a column
to the result set, one has to add it to the TTX file too.
