Crystal Reports 7: The Complete Reference

Rating:
Summary: A must read if you are interested in Crystal Reports
Review: I bought this book a month after buying Crystal Reports (early 1999). I have used it constantly ever since and it has been my primary resource when I use the software on various consulting jobs. The book starts from the beginning and through a series of well defined chapters takes the reader up to an intermediate/expert stage. I taught myself the ActiveX (Visual Basic) module using the book as my primary reference. If you want a real "Bible" on the subject then it must be in your toolkit.

Summary: A New Definition of "Complete"
Review: I work with Visual Basic 6 and Crystal Reports for a Fortune 50 company library IT group. The author has answered all the questions I have had with Crystal Reports, Seagate Analysis, and the RDC for VB app integration. His examples are "real-life." I strongly recommend.

Summary: A must read if you are interested in Crystal Reports
Review: The book covers all aspects of Crystal Reports. From creating a basic report to more advanced reports. It does not cover Crystal Reports formulas thoroughly, so if you want to learn more about creating formulas you may want to get another book in addition to this one. However, you do get fully functional software on the CD ROM that will get you creating professional quality reports in no time at all. This book is definitely a must read for anyone wanting to learn Crystal Reports.

Summary: The Best of The Best
Review: This is the most complete and detailed document available. Anyone using Crystal Reports should own this. The author's experience with multiple versions of the product and real world customer implementation requirements prove invaluable. Crystal Reports is very feature rich product - the author makes logical sense of everything while still diving deep into the details.
