Hi,
I am hoping someone can give me some ideas about how I would manage the following. I am using Crystal Reports XI.
I am creating a report that contains a summary of meeting minutes and associated actions. It will consist of two sub-reports, one that will display minutes where no actions have occurred and one where actions have occurred.
In the database, there are two tables. One lists the minutes (tblMins) and the other lists any actions for a minute item (tblAct) linked by a unique ID (minID).
I am trying to come up with a way of identifying if a minute has any actions to apply to the Selection formula.
Initially I tried the following:
IsNull(tblAct.minID)
but this didn't seem to work. I think that it is because there is only an item added to the tblAct table when an action is created, so if there is no action then there is nothing for the IsNull to compare against.
Can someone suggest an approach I can use to identify if a minute in the tblMins table has an associated record in the tblAct.
There is probably a simple method that I can use but I just can't think what it would be.
Thanks in advance
Simon
