What exactly is Crystal Reports? Here at WorkForce One there is a class starting in two weeks that is free for the taking. It lasts for 4 weeks.

what exactly is Crystal Reports, what is it used for?

It's a report construction tool used for making data look pretty.

I'd take it if I could.

"Delivers rich, interactive content from virtually any data source, publish it to the Web, and integrate it within applications"

it basically is for developement, programming of content.

I would take it if you have the time. Good to know depending on what field you are in.

What part of Florida Amy?

 

[Code]

DB reporting tool.

If you need to take a class in it, you probably need a class in basic computer operation, Windows 101 and very likely a class on Mouse Operation as well.

I am in Aventura. So basically this program just takes data and delivers it into some robust MS Word type format that is pretty?

I thought it would help in the ease of creating SQL based queries and extracts. Somehow I thought it would solve the complexity of creating really good SQL codes.

Well, not so much robust Word. I mean, the reports aren't really an editable standalone file. It's a dynamic file that is either displayed on screen or printed.

And it doesn't really help with queries, so far as I'm aware.

Ok, dirty question here, but does anyone have a copy of the program they can share with me? If it is easy to learn, then I won't bother taking the class as we only get three vouchers per year.

I am using 2 of the vouchers to take SQL 2000 / MCDBA classes.
