Hi, Im totally new to crystal reports and I wanna know if ts possible to use visual basic variables in the select expert of CR.

I have a public variable .Public globalSocialSec As String. in a Module of my visual b project.

As my formula i have this: {Students.SegSoc} = "globalSocSec.text"

But this obviously is not comparing the globalSocSec variable contents with the data in students table. How can I solve this? is there an expression to pick up the contents of my VBasic project variable?

No, you can't pick up variables in a VB project. You can insert the value of a variable into a formula/parameter prior to the report running. For example, to update a formula you would use the following code:
myReport.DataDefinition.FormulaFields("formulaname")="'" & globalSocSec.Text & "'"
