CR9 - Link String field to Number Field

Hey,

I have two tables used within a report one therough btrieve and the other odbc.

Within each table there is a field called {emp.no}. However, one field is located within a Jobshop database and is a string field and the other is located within a TimeLOG database and is a number field.

Is there anyway of linking these fieds within crystal? I dont belive its possible with the Database Expert. But maybe elsewhere?

The report feeds through from the Jobshop (string) field and I need to match records within the TimeLOG (number) database to those within Jobshop based on emp.no and a date field.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

RobSee the help on the ToText and ToNumber functions.
You should be able to use these in the Record Selection formula.
