OK, so I imported an .rpt file as a "report" instead of as a layout and placed it in a known module location (though the options were extremely limited). I had no idea where to go to run the report, but under "Modules", "Reports", and the location I just imported to, I found and chose the report.
The next step was a dialog box with two blank prompts and a third blank prompt asking for a particular field value from a table in the report. The actual Crystal report has only two parameters (good ol' DocKey@ and ObjectID@). I have to actually look at a known document in B1 and enter the values for the parameters before I get an actual result.
Now, more questions...
If there is a token in this report process, where is it?
Why would I run a report this way when it's going to ask me the DocEntry and ObjectId numbers which are not known to me unless I do research (Actually, what you don't know is that all of the reports I've created are revisions to marketing documents, so I haven't created anything new or unique to B1 that would involve complex analysis).
*******************************************
I spend almost two hours a day scouring the SCN to figure this stuff out and am still lost. I haven't read anything anywhere that describes this process in an adequate fashion. If SAP makes BOTH B1 and Crystal Reports, why not make the connection between them seamless and user-friendly?
Gordon, if you're listening, you'd probably do well writing another book on this subject!!
