I wonder if anyone could help me.

I have a text file and want to read this file using Crystal Report 10. This text file is like a database.

The question is.... Can I make a connection to this file and if so how is it done. I want to be able to put certain fields from the text file on the report etc.

If this cannot be done like above, Has anyone got any ideas how I could acheive this.

Thanks in advance

A suggestion might be to set up a quick database in access and import all the data from your text file and then make a conection to it.

As far as I am aware connection to a text file as it were a database is not possible as it has no tables or fileds
