Has anyone connected Crystal Reports directly to Raiser's Edge through ODBC instead of creating an export. I'm trying to pull information into a Custom report directly instead of creating an export and manually updating the export everytime I want to run a report.


Thanks,

Chris

    You connect the report to RE through Custom Reports in RE Reports, adding the Export (which uses a dynamic query) and the CR rpt file.  Then open the Custom Report, hit Preview and the reports runs and previews directly to your screen within Raiser's Edge.

    Yes, many of us have. Do you have a specific question or are you just seeing if it's possible?

    My question would be 'How did you do that??'
