A Crystal report contains its own copy of the data until you hit the refresh button. Is this what you are seeing?

I think this is what I'm seeing. The data in OE is fine - it's saved and updated as soon as we change it - no problem there.

It's the data in crystal that's not refreshing right away. I've tried checking and unchecking the 'save data with report' box, and it doesn't seem to fix the problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sorry, there is no "idea". Crystal keeps its own copy of the data which must be refreshed if you want to see the updated numbers. That's the way it works.

Hi Andrew,

That's the problem I'm having though. We are refreshing the data, but Crystal isn't pulling the refreshed OE data.

Perhaps I'm asking on the wrong forum?

Thanks,

Is it (the report) linked to the database you think it is? Perhaps its running off a local or backup copy of the data?

If you exit Crystal reports and go in is the data refreshed or does the report "never" refresh.

Open this report in the Crystal Reports designer. Under the file menu make sure that 'save data with report' is not selected.
