Hi,

Is there a way of updating the source table with a flag or print date/time stamp within the Crystal report.



Thanks

do you mean executing a report and then filling a field into the source table?
I am not aware of any mechanism to do this.

Yes, exactly that.. Once a record has been read from the source i would like to mark the record as "Printed" so it can be eliminated next time the report is run and we have a record when that record was printed.

This is for customer statements
Thanks

I am not aware of a way to do that from crystal.
Some people have gotten creative work arounds but oftne times it invloves the product that that is gathering the data you hooked crystal into.
Maybe if you explain your overall sequence of events someone can offer a more general solution?
