Monthly Discards Report (v.1) - select own dates Monthly Discards Report: gives a summary of the numbers of items 'discarded' in each collection and its total value, for each branch/library, for a particular period - to be entered when the refresh button is clicked (uses a parameter macro). The 2nd version uses the date range 'LASTMONTH' in case the date selection feature in the first version doesn't work.(Spydus 8.2) Madelon van Zijll de Jong - Hastings Central Library NZ

CR_tips5_Available_on_reserve Ever wanted to try to run Crystal Reports from an Excel file? I have imported from Spydus' Instant Report "Items available for allocation" this file into Excel and with Crystal Report changed the layout and sorted the fields to make it easy to check the collections/shelves. By using the same Excel file name and saving it in the same folder and following a few steps, Crystal Reports can find this data and updates the screen automatically after the Ok to update prompt.
