Creating a new dictionary

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs, select Crystal Reports Tools, then click Crystal Dictionaries.
  2. Click the New button on the toolbar.

    The Crystal Dictionary Expert appears.

    This Expert contains several tabs. Each tab is numbered to lead you through the development process step-by-step.

    Note:    The Links Tab appears only when you have added more than one table to your dictionary.

  3. To access the options on each tab, click the tab. Information and controls needed for the selected step will be displayed in the dialog box. You may also use the Next>> and <<Back buttons to go to the next (right) and previous (left) tabs.

    Note:    Certain steps must be performed before others in the creation process. For example, you must select tables before you can select fields from those tables. For that reason, some tabs may not be available until you perform the required steps prior to selecting those tabs.

  4. Click Save at the bottom of the Expert to save at any time.

    Note:    Since a dictionary must contain some database data, the Save button will be disabled until you add at least one field to the Headings & fields in View list box on the View tab.
