So I have developed a bit of a specialty creating custom reports for people who use PeachTree.

		<description><![CDATA[I always mention case sensitivity in my Crystal Reports classes. My normal comment is that CR formula comparisons are case sensitive with the exception of the selection formula, which is usually NOT case sensitive.&#160; I even wrote about this here, last month.&#160; So I was surprised last week in my Advanced class when our formulas [...]]]></description>
