In another era, in another language I would know how to do this. But this is now and this is Crystal. I would like to create an array that will load different appeal codes from our gifts. Examples FY05FLW, FY06FLW, etc... I then need to count how many times each one is found and the amount of money given to each appeal. In other words how many gifts and how much money. I then want to loop back through and print each one. I have looked at Crystal Reports Encyclopedia and even a Visual Basic book, but so far the light has not come on. If someone could give me just the bones of this I think I can go from there. I know I could do a crosstab to get this but really want to learn arrays and this looked like a simple way to get started. Thank you.
