Hi,
 
One of our applications has some pre defined crystal reports. The way it works (I think) is the application uses the html file to create the report. With these reports are ttx files - what exactly are they?
 
Ive opened one up and browsed it and it seems to contain field information. Would I be correct in saying you can use these to build the reports instead of having the actual table data?
 
Thanks!

if the ttx file contains xml schema information and the html files are really xml data files then yes you can create reports this way.

it is 'pushing' the data to the report rather than pulling it.

HTH

ps you can use them build the reports, but you would need to use the ADO.Net connection so that CR will read the files...and then you need to push the data to the report otherwise the report isn't going to work.
