To modify a repository object
Note:
This procedure shows you how to modify and update a text object in the
repository. Custom functions and commands are modified and updated in
their respective user interfaces; in each case, you must first disconnect the
custom function or command from the repository, make the modifications,
and then add the custom function or command back to the repository.
1. From the Repository Explorer, drag any text object into a report.
2. Right-click the text object in the report and select Disconnect from
Repository from the shortcut menu.
3. Double-click the text object and modify its text.
4. Drag the modified text object from the report back its location in the
Repository Explorer.
When you drop the text object, the Add or Update Object dialog box
appears.
5. Click Update.
6. In the Modify Item dialog box, make any changes you require and click
OK.
7. Right-click the text object in the repository and click Properties from its
shortcut menu.
Notice that the date and time in the Modified area have changed to
correspond to the time you added the text object back to the repository.
Updating connected repository objects in
reports
Repository objects that are used in a report and are connected to that report's
repository can be updated automatically when opening the report in Crystal
Reports. This behavior is controlled by an Options setting and is global for
all reports.
Note:
Objects that are used in a report but are disconnected from the repository
are not automatically updated when the report is opened.
