Hello
I am sure this is well within most peoples capability on this site and am a little embarassed posting this but alas here goes.
I am using Crystal reports and I have only just remembered I can use VB code in Crystal.
I have a report based on 3 tables from the db. Project, ProjPhase and ProjectTask, this is the hierarchy too.
Certain tasks completed in turn complete the phase.
I need to display the next phase (description) of the project on a report.
The fields I'm using in this report are
projphase.phaseid = 1 - 18 (although stored as a string)
projphase.description = description of phaseid above 1-18. This ultimately is the field I need to display
projphase.phasestatus = C I or N (Complete, Incomplete or Not Started)
projphase.percentcomplete = 0 or 100 (number)
projphase.datecomplete = date
projecttask.taskid = (String) this field is relevant but not linked to the projphase.phaseid field where 1.1 – 1.6 constitute Phase 1 where the most tasks to a phase are 21. i.e. 7.21
projecttask.percentcomplete = 0,50,80,90,100 (number)
projecttask.taskstatus = C I or N (Complete, Incomplete or Not Started)
projecttask.datecomplete = date
I would include some code but I have been working on it all day and it’s a dogs breakfast…
The logic is that I need to display the next projphase.description (projphase.phasestatus = I or N) where the previous is complete but may have projphase.percentcomplete = 0 although will have a projphase.phasestatus = C
I keep striking problems as if the next projphase.phasestatus = N then so too do all of the following.
Perhaps I should just be using the datecomplete fields although can’t get the description + 1.
Please help this poor dumb ass?
Thanks
