Hi all,
Is it possible or am I a dreamer???
I wish I listened to my parents and actually spend some time studying when I was younger....
So far I have managed to create a master report with about 5000 jobs/orders ready for preview so far, grouped by order name (about one order per page or two pages) Orders kept together and each new order starts on the new page.
I need to be able to save all of it, each order individually (example order name HE123456 which is {Intake.ConsignRef} and about 2 pages) into particular place (Z:\JobDocs\HE123456) which is existing folder for this job, with specific name (Goods In from ({Intake.Suplier}) or something) as pdf file?
And in the future how can I update the report & save newly created orders without creating a lot of problems?
I thought I could export it to excel and try something there but I hate these little macros in excel..
Please HELP! I don't want to do this manually.... it will take forever & I will have to start looking for another job......... :(
Need more info? Please ask. Many thanks in advance.

It can be done, but not directly in Crystal. You have a couple of options:
1. Write code to do this and for that you need the Developer version of Crystal. There are very powerful Java and .NET SDK's available.
2. Look for a third-party tool that will handle this for you. A good place to start looking is at www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html. Ken has a good list of what's available with links to the software sites.
