Hi,
 
I am trying at the moment to create a windows application that reads the sql queries that exist in a crystal report and check the values in these queries are still correct.
I came across the "show SQL Query" button in the database tab and realised that if i could somehow get the code from this then my problems are a little closer to solved!
does anyone know of a way to do this, or am i pipe dreaming?

I don't know...
 
I am sure that it would get you closer, but if your report gathers the data via stored proc or the data is pushed to the report, then this field won't help much.  Also if there are subreports you would need to check those as well.
 
Just some thoughts.
 
I guess the last thought, is why do you need to do this?  Is your database changing so often and radically that the CR are failing?

Well, I understand that logic ;)
 
I don't know, but perhaps Brian's book on programming .Net might be helpful...I can recommend the book on XI reporting, but it is not the programming side.
