Certain reports cannot be achieved in Crystal Reports without links and understanding how to manipulate joins. Along with different joins, learning to deal with nulls is critical to writing effective and readable reports. This course covers these features, as well as techniques for writing letters and creating mailing labels with Crystal Reports vs. mail merge. Author Robin Hunt also shows how to write null statements, convert values to text, and combine fields and text boxes in your reports.
