Question

I have constructed a Crystal Report with several drill-down options depending on user selection, based upon a SQL stored procedure in my database.

I have a sub-report which is dependant on the variables clicked on by the users.

However, I was wondering if I could use text objects, rather than values read from my query, I attempted to fiddle around with ‘Format Text’ and making it a hyper-link, I think I’m on the right track but unsure where to go from here;

I.E. The data context etc…

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Right click on the sub report in the main design window and select Change Subreport Links…
Set your sub report link to link to a formula field. This will allow you to use any calculated value as a sub report link.
