Customer Reviews & Comments
The product is a single laminated page of Crystal Reports tips. It's got several of the basics covered, but insufficient detail to actually perform the tasks discussed--unless you already know how to do them. It doesn't contain sufficient references to the online documentation to act as an index, either. I'm unclear on exactly who would benefit from having this available to them. I'd say stick with the online documentation's index search and save your four bucks! This is a solution in search of a problem.
