Overview of the Crystal Reports Add-Ins
Crystal Reports takes advantage of Microsoft's Add-In technology by offering a report creation Wizard you can use with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. The Crystal Report Wizard offers familiar report design capabilities directly within your Microsoft Office applicationsyou can create a Crystal report from your data without leaving Excel or Access.
The method for working with the Add-Ins is similar in both Excel and Access:
- open Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access (the Add-Ins are automatically installed when you install Crystal Reports)
- select a spreadsheet (or selected cells), table, or query and launch the Wizard
- use the creation Wizard's familiar screen layout to create a report to your specifications.
Note: The Add-Ins work with only the Office 97 and Office 2000 versions of Excel and Access.
