"Refresh on Open"

building reports crystal reports
1

Hi

I remember when i was working on Crystal Reports XIr2 i have used the
‘Refresh on open’ from the ‘Options’ menu. But I’m not sure because it was an year ago. Now i have started using 2008 version where i couldnt locate the ‘Refresh on Open’ option. Is it removed in 2008 or it was not the functionality of crystal reports. Is there any workaround available for this? Please suggest.

Thanks.

Uncheck ‘Save Data with Report’ option under Report Options to force a refresh.

Thanks Farhan,
i have tried this earlier but the user has to manually refresh the report in this case.In Web Intelligence the report will refresh automatically when opened,is this not possible in crystal? Thanks.

I tried exporting the report to repository with “Save data with report” unchecked and opened it from the infoview. It was refreshign while opening,automatically.
But only when i open it int he Crystal window it goes to the design mode.
Is this the way this behave?
