New The "no-nonsense" guide to Crystal Reports
If there is enough need for one, I could write one for absolute beginners who don't want to buy a phone-book type book. Provided I have the time to do so and the money to get a copy of CR to do this with. I could either use the one that comes with the .NET CD/DVD, or the one that comes with VB.

I had to learn the hard way, using CR help files, CR knowledge base articles, web pages, yahoo Clubs, Expert's Exchange, and other areas to learn how to use CR.

Your best bet is to [link|http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-4170068-1772661|Visit Amazon.com] and see what CR titles have the best reviews for easy to understand. I'd bet it is a "Dummies" book as the easiest to understand.

BTW what version of CR are you using?
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

But I have no idea how good or bad they are. Sorry.
