From: Sandi on 24 Jan 2010 11:41 I understand it, but can I use it for reporting based on DBF files too? Or at least to create an array of data which I pass to report.

From: Willie Moore on 24 Jan 2010 14:07 Sandi, What you can do it to create a dataset that contains the data as read from the DBF. It is pretty much the same approach I used when using ReportPro. I would read my DBFs into a temp table and then swap it out at runtime. Here, you read your DBF into a in memory Dataset and then use the localserver to set the report's dataset to the one you created.

From: Philippe Mermod on 24 Jan 2010 14:18 Hi Sandi, With Crystal Reports, you can use DBF as database for the reports. Just take a look at http://www.pkl.ch/dev/creports.php then contact me if you need more informations. Samples with DBFs are included in the package. -- Phil Mermod Crystal Reports Library for Visual Objects http://www.pkl.ch/dev/ Sandi wrote: > I understand it, > but can I use it for reporting based on DBF files too?

Sandi. Yes you can but that is pretty much not the point. However... Willie mentions one way. Another is to upload the DBF into a sql server on the fly. Performance is the issue - this would be the fastest way but the truly best solution is to go SQL.
