Unbound Fields Demo

  • Purpose: Demonstrate one way of using Unbound Fields (new to Crystal Reports 8.0).
  • Summary: In this sample, there are five unbound fields created in the report. Notice that there is no data source added to the report at design time at all -- the data source is created and added to the report at runtime. Unbound fields can also be used as formulas, although this sample does not demonstrate this use. Unbound fields allow for great flexibility, since you can change easily change the data source for an unbound field at runtime.
