Refresh Database fields to appeare in Crystal Reports

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:10:00 -0700

Today, I'm assigned to update existing reports for our project. Honestly, we used Crystal Reports as using our report feature which isn't quite suitable for every client. Because our crystal reports is integrated with other 3rd party software which is needed to install Oracle Client into every computer. Let it be because it's out of what I'm gonna mention. Say, the database fields in Crystal Reports isn't updated once we finished adding new fields or updating existing fields in our database. For this case, I thought we can make right-click on Database fields and refresh the list of database fields. Actually, it doesn't work at that. That's why I need to reconnect the database and attach all of tables which are needed for reports. At that time, all of fields are disappeared on crystal reports design. It's really headache. [More]
