What support does Crystal reports give to XML?
I can use crystal to provide xml from my report, but I haven't figured out how to have it load from a xml document. Currently we automate crystal and feed it data from our xmldocuments with vb.
But if the data to be displayed is large, xml files can be huge and can affect the performance. I already had a problem accessing 'Access Database' of huge data.
Instead can i use some text files to provide the data to crystal reports? If yes, how can i do that.
Even a pointer to that is of great help!!
Thanks.
Ok, This is what I found, any other information is of great help.
Create a File DSN specifying any text driver[eg: Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)]
While creating the report in Crystal report use this File DSN. The format of the text file needs to be configured in the File DSN.
I could generate a basic report.
I wanted to know, where can i get information about the file formats,so that i can generate advanced reports.
A sample can be the best help.
Thanks.
