Crystal Report showing data not in my table

[johncassell]

Hi There,

could someone tell me why the crystal report I have just made with the wizard in VS 2005 is showing data which is not in my table.

Items such as Lime, Fuchsia, Gray

Are these parts of an example sheet and I have made a mistake somewhere?

Sorry if I haven't provided enough info, I just thought this may be a newbie mistake people always come across.

Thanks

John

Hi John,

I'm not sure were this is normal. I think it's some sort of temporary data displaying while you try to preview the report while on development but to my own experience, by the runtime of your application, if you did code the connection to retrieve data from database correctly it should not be any problem with displaying your actual data.

Do you mean when you click "Preview Report" ?

This fills with fake data, it doesn't actually connect to your dataset.

It's the biggest pain in the a*se ever, confused me for a while. To properly test your report you need to run your app using F5 making sure the form with the report viewer can be accessed.
