    If I understand correctly, a flat file is basically a text file that contains your data?

    Whether I understand correctly or not, this may help you...

    Crystal Data Objects (CDO) - You populate an array with your data and pass the array to Crystal in the same way you would pass a recordset.

    Look at my post here for an explanation of how to use CDO:

    http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showth...&highlight=cdo

    It contains the VB code you need as well as a link to Crystals website to an article that tells you how to setup the report.

    Hope that helps!
