[Reports]

You can add custom reports using Crystal Reports for Visual Basic

Version 2.0 to the list of reports in the Report Options form. Add the
following heading and report information at the end of the transact.ini file.

[Reports]

Report1=Name of Report,nameorpt.rpt

Where

Name of Report

is the name of the report you want displayed in

the Report Type drop-down list, and

nameorpt.rpt

is the name of the

Crystal Report file.

When you select Name of Report from the report drop-down list, TransAct
generates the nameorpt.rpt report. Place the file in the TransAct installation
directory (usually c:\transact). You can add subsequent reports by inserting
additional lines in the initialization file.

Report2=
Report3=

etc.

TransAct disables Major and Minor sort controls when you select custom
reports. You must handle all transaction selection (other than the General
Selections for Type and Date Range) and sorting within the custom report.
