I'm trying to write a Crystal Report which has totals grouped in a different way to the main report. The only way I've been able to do this so far is to use a subreport for the totals, but it means having to hit the data source again to retrieve the same data, which seems like nonsense.

If you have two versions of the same report (.rpt) and you want to establish what the exact differences are, what is the best way to go about this?

Problem is when the text in the first FieldObject is too long it over...
I infrequently (monthly/quarterly) generate hundreds of Crystal Reports reports using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database views. Are those views wasting CPU cycles and RAM during all the time that I am not reading from them? Should I instead use stored procedures, temporary tables, or short-lived normal tables since I rarely read from m...
