[AccessD] Crystal Reports Resubmit

Paula

...can't help you with CR since I don't use it ...but could you elaborate on
"Access would not
handle all the fields required for the reports" ...I've simply never run
into that situation :)

...there may well be a much simpler and better solution available within
Access itself if you can give us a bit more information.
