Re: Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reportsinto CF Report Builder
Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports (with each
sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can say with confidence,
"Yes you can." However the real question you should ask is, "Should I
create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF ReportBuilder?" And the answer
to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would suggest you stick
with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for a lot of headaches. Now
maybe it was because I started using the report builder that came with MX7, but
it seems there are still quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your
fist at your computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and for many
things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you ever need help good
luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty finding good documentation as a
sign of how little Adobe supports this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't get fancy with
it, you'll only regret your decision in the end.
