Stonefield Query calls the ReportEngine.SetupCrystalReport script when the users runs a Crystal report. This allows you to change the report's properties before it runs.

Parameters
A reference to the Stonefield Query Application object and a reference to the Crystal report object.

Return Value
True if the report can run, False if not.

Example
This example sets the value of the tsDataFolder variable in the Crystal report to the name of the current database.

Visual FoxPro

lparameters toApplication as SQApplication, toReport
local loFormulas, loFormula, loDatabase, loDatasource
loFormulas = toReport.FormulaFields
loFormula = loFormulas.GetItemByName('tsDataFolder')
loDatabase = toApplication.DataEngine.Databases.GetMainDatabase()
loDataSource = loDatabase.CurrentDataSource
loFormula.Text = '"' + loDatasource.Database + '"'
return .T.

VBScript

function Main(Application, Report)
dim Formulas, Formula, Database, Datasource
set Formulas = Report.FormulaFields
set Formula = Formulas.GetItemByName("tsDataFolder")
set Database = Application.DataEngine.Databases.GetMainDatabase()
set DataSource = Database.CurrentDataSource
Formula.Text = Chr(34) + Datasource.Database + Chr(34)
Main = True
end function

JavaScript

function Main(Application, Report) {
var Formulas, Formula, Database, Datasource ;
Formulas = Report.FormulaFields ;
Formula = Formulas.GetItemByName("tsDataFolder") ;
Database = Application.DataEngine.Databases.GetMainDatabase() ;
DataSource = Database.CurrentDataSource ;
Formula.Text = '"' + Datasource.Database + '"' ;
return true ;
}
