Display File Name on Report

Posted on Apr 08, 2008 at 04:36 PM 13 Views

I am using Crystal Reports v9. I would like to be able to display the file names at the bottom of my report but I do not want to show the file path. Is there a way to take the Special Field "File Path and Name" and show just the file name and not the path? If that doesn't work is there another way to do this?

Thank you for any help.

    Hello,

    Open the document properties dialog box for the report and type the file name that you want to appear on the report in the Title field, then add the report title special field to the report.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned in my original post that I am already using all of the fields of the Summary information for other things so that isn't really an option for me.

    Not sure about CR9 but this works in CR XI.

    Filename[instrrev(Filename,'\')+1 to length(Filename)];
