                Nope - I just dislike it when people try to chip in, and they rank at a negative on the clue-o-meter.

                      It works in general. But it has a shipload of issues that is creating problems that is not my fault. I can live with problems that I create myself. I can fix them. But waiting for more than half a year for Business Objects to fix some obscure bugs, IS getting on my mind. The problem is that the alternatives i have found so far isn't advanced enough or easy enough to use.

                              I want to maintain my lack of positivity. It's the bleak meaningless depression of my miserable existence that keeps me getting out of bed on a morning.

                                Yes, we all love to hate Crystal Reports, but, sometimes, we are forced to use it at our workplace. Today, one of the users reported an issue when printing reports from the Intranet; they were getting multiple copies. When I investigated, I discovered that the number of copies being printing was the square of the number of copies requested. Request 1, get one; request 2, get 4; request 3, get 9... After much searching, I found a serivce pack to address the issue... but, come on! What developer allowed THAT to slide into a commercial system??? Hopefully, the service pack doesn't break anything else... Tim

                                ask the users to submit square root of desired number of copies. you want 3 copies then request square root of 9, ouch mind boggling. ;P

                                  So, you call him gay and now it's a compliment. I realise that English isn't your first language, so you might actually want to pause and read things through a couple of times before you try to play catchup with the big boys. Hell, I suspect that language isn't your first language. ;P

                                    you wouldn't show that disrespect for the President of Lebanon or the Speaker of the Parliament.

                                          Perhaps it was by design - you all know that feeling when you get to a meeting and you realise you haven't printed off enough copies for all of the attendees :)

                                          And that worked out just wonderfully until the afternoon of the company's annual status meeting .. "Let's see now we have 179 confirmed, I'll just tack on another 20 in case, oh lets just make it 200 even"


                                          I'm largely language agnostic


                                          After a while they all bug me :doh:
