crystal reports in vb.net

[Rashmi]

I am asked to do a project on crystal reports using vb.net. My module is MULTIPLE QUERIES. I'm a student and new to all this. I am asked to submit a report about my module and how I'll be designing it. What all should i include? How should I start with the designing part?

hmm

i'll try to give some points (basicly how i go about creating a cr)

first think of w you want to display (1form, endless cols of data, data w
details(sub reports), ...)
then think of w data you need for this (can you get all the data in 1 view
or querry?, need multiple, dont worry about repetition to much you can use
the grouping in cr ..)
make your datasource (working w 1 datasource (ex view) makes creating the
report a lot easyer) dont bother to much w formulas you can create them in
crystal.

then start building the report adding groupings, fields, calculated fields,
sub reports, parameters, ...

fine tune the layout

thats about it

hope it helped a bit
