Customer Reviews for Seagate Crystal Reports 8.0 User Manual

A good starting point Rating: 4/ 5 Seagate's User's Guide does what any good manual is supposed to do... provide you with a good enough starting point to create powerful and customizable reports with relative ease. While it provides a fair amount of screen shots, I found that it was lacking in this area at some crucial points which left me wondering how to accomplish and follow instructions provided for the creation of some reports. If you are a Seagate Info and Seagate Analysis user, complimentary software to Crystal Reports provided by Seagate, it provides you with no instruction on their use, advantages disadvantages and differences in their functionality. For a better description of both Info and Analysis you may want to look at Osborne's: The Complete Reference - Seagate Crystal Reports 8 by G. Peck. Finally, the manual does not adequately cover how to address applications geared for the Web or using VB. These topics are better addressed elsewhere. The manual is bundled with the software so therefore, if you purchased a copy you are likely to own a copy already. However, if you are looking for another reference to supplement your understanding of the true functionality and power of this program, it may be better to refer to Peck for a more in-depth view.
User friendly Manual Rating: 5/ 5 it's really usefull & a wonderfull reference
