I was told about Euphoria. Before trying it, I need
anybody to answer me this question. May I use Crystal
reports with Euphoria?
Thaks.

What are "Crystal reports"? If they're some kind of file output, and you
know their *format*, there isn't any fundamental reason you couldn't read
them in with a Euphoria program and deal with the data via Euphoria code.

Derek,
Oh. Ok. "Crystal Reports" is not a file format.
rbsmith had written,
>"May I use Crystal reports with Euphoria".
so, rb, did Derek's response answer your question?
Nope, I don't have *any* experience in COM and SQL parsing, so it would be
way *more* than a good challenge for me to try to write an ODBC driver.
Maybe someone else?
