Import CSV into Crystal Reports

[Former Member]

I have a 3rd party that is able to give me data in any format I like, but they are not able to give me live access to their database.

So I figure CSV is probably ok, so I am looking for a sample CSV file I can look at that deals with customer info and detailed line items of information. This is a bill statement, so their are lots of line items for each billable item. Any help would be appreciated.

Create your own fake csv file and then use it as the datasource for a crystal report to see how it works.

I would think it would be as easy as using Excel, putting in rows of fake data into a couple columns and saving it to csv.

Also this forum is for SDK support. You may want to create this thread in the Crystal Reports Design forum since it really has nothing to do with code.
