I'm somewhat new to Crystal Reports, and I'm stuck on a report that I'm trying to make. In database expert, I have entered 3 commands to give me 3 tables.
The first command selects TrainingID (int), TrainingDate (date), and TrainingTopic (varchar(max) from a SQL table. I'm using a command because there is a join between two tables to give the topic and the training date. (Only mildly related, but TrainingTopic is the joined field and it doesn't show up in a few other places like the link window and in the Parameter Field value description.)
The second command runs a query to give me a list of employee IDs if the employee has taken a training.
The third command pulls a list of all employees who were employed on a selected date (the training date).
There are two parameters for the report TrainingID and TrainingDate.
My report has the name fields pulled from command 3. I use a format to highlight the names that do not appear in the trained list generated by command 2. (if isnull({EmployeesByTraining.EmployeeID}) then crRed else crBlack)
This works as expected. However, what I want is to put the trainingTopic at the top of the page, however when I do so each name gets repeated 5 times in my list.
Ideally, I would like to select a trainingTopic from a list. The related trainingID and TrainingDate would then populate down as the parameter fields for commands 2 and 3. At the top of the page I would display the trainingTopic, with the list of the names in the middle of the page.
Any ideas?
