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?
