Crystal Reports Supplement

Most of the printed reports and forms in the DentaLab/PC II System have been developed with a product called Crystal Reports for Btrieve. This product is licensed to software developers by Pervasive and includes a special version of the highly regarded Crystal Reports from Seagate Software that had been adapted by Smithware for use with the Btrieve file management system now called Pervasive SQL.

If you wish to create your own queries, reports, graphs or transfers of data to other systems, you can license the Crystal Reports Supplement. This supplement will also include a copy of the data dictionary for DentaLab/PC II.

Here are some of things you can do with Crystal:

• Create presentation quality reports
• Develop graphs
• Import logos, pictures and other graphics
• Choose from a wide range of fonts, bitmaps, boxes, lines
• Preview reports as you develop them
• Direct your output to the printer, the screen or datafiles
• Perform powerful data analysis with over 160 functions
• Export to Excel, Word, Word Perfect, Lotus Notes and 1-2-3
• Use native Btrieve access rather than the slower ODBC
• Learn to use this tool with sample reports from Crystal and DentaLab/PC II
