[QUOTE="AchimW, post: 6041, member: 2401"] I just started (well, I will once it works) using crystal reports in .NET. I create sqldataadapters and a dataset. I have the 2 sqldataadapters fill the dataset and each adds a table.Then I add a component(CrystalReport) to my project. I used each of the three start-up options(blank report, existing report, wizard/expert) with the same results described below:I define the database by pointing to the dataset in the project. I select both tables from the dataset and add them to the report. Then, when I right-click any section/area of the report and select INSERT from the context menu the first option (FIELD...) is grayed-out, not available. How does one add fields/columns from a table and place them on the report?The wizard allows to select all fields from all tables but it just slams it onto the report and it's a big mess.I created a report layout with text fields, page number fields, boxes, etc. Now I want to add columns from the tables in my dataset to the report.Does anyone know how that can be done?I installed Crystal Reports from the VS2003 disk and the installation didn't give any errors. I can open and view the sample reports fine. I wonder what one would need to do if he employes a report designer and a developer.
