Appendix
To change one of the standard reports, use Crystal Reports for Visual Basic
Version 2.0. When saving the modified report, select Save As from the File
pull-down menu and replace the G in the file name with the letter C
(examples: CFACCT.RPT, CFAGING.RPT, etc.). Always preserve the
original file report.
Save the modified file in the TransAct installation subdirectory. When
selecting a report type, TransAct uses the report type beginning with the
letter C first. If TransAct does not find a custom report, it uses the report
beginning with the letter G.
By changing the first letter of the file name, future software upgrades will
not erase the changed reports. TransAct automatically uses the modified
standard report in place of the distributed standard report.
12.4 Creating Custom-Format Print Tickets
TransAct’s default ticket format (default.gtk) is stored in a separate file on
your hard drive. TransAct uses this file as a template when generating
transaction tickets in the program. For these instructions, it is assumed that
you have not moved the original default.gtk ticket format file and the file
is still in the same directory (c:/transact/default.gtk) where TransAct
installed it.

12.3 Modifying Standard Reports
You can modify standard reports to preserve the use of all sorting options.
Standard reports are located in the TransAct installation directory (usually
c:\transact). All report files are of the following GF*.RPT name type. Below
is a list of all the standard reports.
