Hi,
I need to display windows curency symbol in my reports...
I found a nice option in the currency tab : "Use default format"...
I'm sure it will do what I want but the option is disable...

Thanks in advance

try to help.
(assume you using Crystal XI).


currency setting is based on your system setting (regional setting).

you can right click the field - Format field.
from here you can set/check 'Display Currency symbol'.

click on 'Customize...' button.
from here you can set/check 'Use Account format'

click on 'Currency Symbol' tab.
from here you can setup the Currency symbol as you wish.


hope it help.

I know that I can set my currency symbol in that page(already done it to change it to % in some reports), but what I need to do now is make it use the system format(window)

I changed my format to Euro and ran the report but it was still $ that was there....

I know that I can set the good value in the formula of the currency symbol but I was kind of hopping for an automatic thing since I have over 200 reports to update, each of them containing couples of money format....

thanks

mmm..
the point is the setting in Regional Setting.

and in CR you can set from:
- click File - Options
- Fields tab
- Select 'Currency'
  and set the Currency symbol as you wish

this setting will applied for all report.

note:
make sure that the field in each report is 'Currency' (not Number).


hope it help.

This was probably the problem... Thanks, I will not forget this one...

Since my boss was pushing for this option,  I finally did the long shot (not so hard as I first imagine) by adding a parameter "Symbol" to each report and assigning the symbol fomula of each field to use its value...
