Hi,
I have a formula in the detail section, this formula evaluates one field if the Table.Field = "c", I want to put some text in a text object or in other formula (both of them in the group footer section).
I have tried to use global variables, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it doesn't work.
Can I assign text to a text object from a formula?.
Can I assign text to a formula from other formula?
Can I modify the background color of a text object from a formula?
Can I modify the background color of a formula from a different formula?
If yes for all these, can be made from different sections. (The formula with the code to modify text and background is in Detail section and Objects to be modified are in Footer section).
PLEASE somebody answer!!!

Where you might be having problems...Crystal as far as variables is case sensitive.  Also, if you formula is toggling a switch on and off, if the first record sets it on, and you are expecting your footer to do something, and the second record toggles it off...should the footer still do something or should it ignore.
