    Posted: 12 Feb 2009 at 3:16pm

I am using CR 10.  Our ERP systems spits out a CSV file that I would like to use as a datasource.  However, the file has no header row (i.e. the frst row is data).  I've tried several different data connection types but they all end up turning the first row of data into the feild names.  Is there a data source type that will assign feild names instead so that the first row is handled as a record instead of feild names?  (i.e. Feild1, Feild2, Feild3... or whatever)

AFAIK, Crystal needs the field names in order to use a CSV as a datasource.

I was afraid that was the answer.  OK.  Will just have to add an additional step to the process.  Thanks for your help.
