How do I modify the report filter such that I can include a user defined field from the Customer Field of the Configuration GUI? I would like to be able to generate reports by filtering on a Numeric Field. Any assistance in this matter would be deeply appreciated.

Eric, If you want to use Crystal Reports under the Utilities menu select the Customer.def
Eric,
Make a copy of the file you want to modify. Right click the file and uncheck the Read Only option. Change the name of the file so that it start with 'Custom - "insert name of file here"' (with out quotes). Open the file using Notepad. Copy and paste the column below at the bottom of the file.
********************************* Begin Column FieldName = "Customer.CustomNumber1" DrillDownFieldName = "" DrillDownReportName = "" Title = "!CaptionCustomerCustomNumber1" VBDataType = vbDouble Formula = "" ColHidden = True ColNotDisplayable = False FilterDisabled = False ColWidth = 1080 GroupMethod = groupmethodNone ColFormat = "" ColAlignment = flexAlignLeftCenter End Column ********************************* Save the file. Note: In order for this to work the Customer table has to be apart of the query. Restart Manager, go to Reports then Custom your newly created report should be there now.Rob
