Crystal Reports Tip:

Ever look at a printed report and wonder who ran it?

By default, the formula editor will use the Crystal syntax option but you can change this to default to basic syntax by selecting File > Options and then clicking on the Formula Editor tab. You can then use the drop-down at the bottom of the page to select your default formula syntax.
