Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought this book thinking it would be a good resource for working with Crystal but it was not. I was looking for something to help me start creating reports, but I ended up throwing in the towel about half-way through when I couldn't follow the flow of what was supposed to be going on. I should have done my research-- the book is self-published and is the material is not presented well... I would hate to be in a training class with this as the manual. I did go have a browse of the other Crystal books in the store and ended up with the Prima book, which has worked out well...
