Hi,

I am trying to find a solution for one problem. Maybe my explanation will be a bit unprofessional but I hope that somebody can help me.

Basically I have a sales order within our database and report(crystal v.10) which gives me order details grouped by stockcode (unique item number).

When you run report you have items listed within group headers (details as supressed - I had to group it to avoid multiple items as you can have the same item twice within one order).

Within each item line I have to add a weight field but I do not have it within my database.

I have to add it manually every time I print out that report.

Is it possible to develop formula which will ask user to put weight for each item (group) when user run that report (as a text box or something like that)?

For example if order contains 5 items, report will ask 5 times to put weight. Unfortunatelly different order can have different amount of items.

I have to do it within report because that report will produce barcodes stickers to put on each box and one of these barcodes contains weight:/

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
