RE: Crystal Reports

Terry,
We have some power PC users who use Crystal Reports to access MAPICS
files.
They like the functionality of Crystal for Ad hoc reporting. Some need
help with setting up the initial queries on exactly which files to use.
You can create a data dictionary for them in Crystal.


Remember to check the 'Convert CCSID 65535 to text' box under
Translation Tab on the ODBC definition.

Anybody using Crystal Reports with MAPICS?  We are contemplating
implementing Crytal Reports XI to access MAPICS and other data to
generate reports.  We currently utilize Queries and Browser, using Excel
to massage the resulting data.  Need a better way...

Wish the database schema were documented properly, with lookups and
where-used references.  Very difficult to find the right database
elements.
