I would like to extract the table names a crystal report is using. I have a VB code and would like to run the code to extract table names a report is using. Is there a way to do this?

Hi

CR Doc is a simple utility that will meet exactly that need. You tell it which reports you’re interested in, and it will rapidly produce a text file containing all the field names used in those reports. You can use the information in a variety of ways. For example, you could open the text file in Microsoft Excel, where you can sort it and analyse it, or you could feed it back into CR to produce a new report.

Note that CR Doc is not a full report-documentation utility. There are products on the market that will give you a much more detailed analysis of the composition of your reports. On the other hand, CR Doc is very easy to use, and has the added advantage of being free.

CR Doc does not work directly with the actual Crystal report files (RPT files). Instead, it uses report definition files to obtain the information it needs. A report definition file is a text file that contains information about the various objects used in a report. You create it within CR. The process, which is described in the CR Doc Help file, is completely straightforward and takes only a few moments.
