Hi,
 
I am working with a work collegue's crystal report and notice that there is a reserved word FORMULA i.e. it turns blue.
 
He has a syntax of formual = a
 
What is this and how is it used in a report?
 
Confused

It is used when you are using BASIC syntax (vs. Crystal) in a formula.  It is required to return the value of the formula.  Example:

Dim x as integer
Dim y as integer
x =2
y = 4
Formula = x+y

Thanks Kevlray for the quick reply.
 
Looking at the syntax and your explaination, I can see how this works now.
