Crystal question AGAIN

[pmacduff]

calling Mr. Poje or Fredman:

(This happend to me once before when I did an update and I cannot for the life of me remember exactly all the steps!)

Anyway - my ADP/ACP tests are printing with page numbers since the update. Due to the way that we assemble our valuation reports I do not want the automated page numbers to appear. I know how to modify the standard report in the Relius directory, but seem to remember something about having to take the exisiting file out of my Relius directory and replacing it with my modified file in order for this to work. I can't save my modifications over the original.

HELP!

Thanks in advance!

are you saying you don't want any page numbers, or just the sequential ones that Relius is printing?

It shouldn't matter if you update your computer - the ADP report will pull from your custom directory - sort of like an override - your custom report prints instead of the Relius report.

[pmacduff]

I don't want any page numbers at all. (Each of our client reports vary and most can be printed directly from Relius without page numbers, so I can basically put the report in any order I want.

The only thing I had changed on the old version was eliminating the page numbers. But since the last update I did, I'm doing a report and see that the page numbers are there again. It might be something else I did (!), I just assumed it was the update.....

[Tom Poje]

well, search your custom folder and see if you have more than one version of the ADP report. maybe the latest update is pulling that report instead of the one which has no page numbers

[pmacduff]

You are right, somehow the files were not in my Custom folder. When I remove the page number and have to resave under a different name, does that do anything to the process?

[Fredman]

Sorry, we're ASP, so I'm probably not much help...but that won't stop me from making a wild guess.

From what it sounds like is you have a custom ADP/ACP report (without page numbers) that you want to use instead of the canned version. The canned version is probably marked as read-only which is why you can't save over it. If this is the case you should be able to browse to the folder (using Windows Explorer or My Computer) with the canned ADP report, rename it (make it obvious that its the canned report) and then move your custom report to this folder and naming it what the canned report was (so that Relius can find it).

If my assumptions are wrong, ignore this post and move along.

[Tom Poje]

as long as the report name is the same, the system should read the customized version over the Relius version.

ah, memories. years ago...they indicated since it was a Crystal report you could modify, but you had to save it on your Relius drive. then you load the update and your customized report gets overridden. I was a bit peeved the first time that happened, probably one of many that complained so we ended up with things as they are now.

I've combined the employee list with the results on one report, plus added age if someone is age 50 or older, plus the amount of catch up for excess deferrals, etc. even tried adding 'shifting' if needed.

gotta love the ability to customize things.

dang, Grinch can't be worried about that stuff right now. I should be home making the breads and other goodies I have to give away.

[pmacduff]

Thanks gentleman...everything is working...all is status quo again!

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!! On to your baking Mr. Grinch...

[Tom Poje]

and the same to you Lady MacDuff

hmmmm. breads to make

Potica (or Povotica) - you roll out the dough thin and smother it with a walnut filling and roll it back up.

Christopomos (or Christopsomo) which is a Greek Christmas bread. lots of butter in the recipe I have- oh and anise seed, of course.

then I do...oh never mind.
