The export option is tricky option. If you are using Word as
target use RTF word version makes the report differant. The
filed values might be missing if the hight of field is less
than height of font. No error is generated in the previous
case. The PDF generator is fairly good.
If provided a choice RPT is the best option for export. RPT
will save data with report, user will be able to drill down
if needed and user can export to any format if he/she
changes mind.
It's best to do few tryals & verify.

Should be careful with boxes if used and if layout is
landscape and you have data till the right corner of the
report. Sometimes Preview tab may show you correctly
formatted but when you export it may differ. Just have to
make sure that all your fields are well inside the report
layout.

Exact exports are exports that preserve the layout and
formatting of objects in the exported document. The
exported document looks almost identical to the display on
the Preview tab of the report being exported. Adobe Format
(PDF), Rich Text Format, MS Word, and HTML are exact
exports.

I had an Interview yesterday for a Crystal Reports Developer position. Some of these I have not done in my reporting experience and I had just a half day's notice for the interview, hence no prep time :-( 1) Is there a way to be able to change an image(company logo) dynamically in a report? Example if you have 100 reports, and with the market uncertainity if you anticipate that the company logo might change, how can you change the image just in one place and have this reflected in all teh reports at run time? 2) What is a SQL expression? 3) What are field expressions and what are the diff types? (I looked this up in the internet and never found anything with regards to types of field expressions) The interviewer really got me confused as I felt he was not clearly setting forth his questions but it could be that I was unable to understand his wording of the questions. I expect a big zero from his feedback but I am hoping this is an experience for future interviews that I face in crystal reports when I do get some more lined up. Thanks in advance!
