Version 7 Test Drive

This Test Drive section is designed to give you some hands-on exposure to the Seagate Crystal Reports 7. These exercises step you through designing a new report and adding formatting and other enhancements to an existing report. Even if you’re an experienced Seagate Crystal Reports user, you may want to follow through these exercises to better understand how this release may be different from the version you use now.

The Hands On exercises include:

• Creating a Report - connecting to a database and creating a simple report
  
• Modifying a Report - adding some additional formatting and enhancements to a report
  
• Importing a Report - converting an ASCII legacy report to a Crystal Report

After you have completed these exercises, you may want  to create some simple reports using a database you are familiar with, or try modifying some of the sample reports included with this version. There other specific test drives you can complete for both Web Reporting and the Report Designer Component for Microsoft Visual Basic. These are included in the corresponding Getting Started Guides which can also be found on the Seagate Crystal Reports CD.
