After you choose Crystal Reports from the Start menu, it opens to the Start Page with three drop-down menus across the top: File, View and Help. In the body of the page, it gives you choices to either start a new report or open recent reports. If you choose to start a new report, you have several options. You can either design your own report from scratch using a blank report or you can use one of several wizards. It will be easiest to start with the report wizard.
Designing and Building Your First Report
Before you start up the wizard, think about what information you need and who needs your report. You'll get a much clearer report if you limit it as closely as possible to only the information your audience needs.When you select report wizard, a window opens up that helps you connect to your database. If your database is not listed under existing connections, you'll have to create a new connection to it. You'll need to tell it what kind of database you're connecting to. Your simplest starting point is to select an Access/DAO database. A window will open that asks for the database name. If you don't know the name, click the ellipsis [...] next to 'database name', to browse. The wizard will walk you through selecting your tables and fields. Make your first report without using grouping.When you get to the record selection window, you can narrow down your data, adding fields into the filter fields section, then using the drop-downs below to specify what data you do and don't want.
Your Report's Appearance
When you finish filtering and click Finish, Crystal Reports will select your data and display it to you on the Preview tab. Click the Design tab. You can add headers and footers here, change their appearance and change the size and name of columns. You have three tool bars at the top of your window. In the lowest one down, the leftmost section is the one that lets you insert text objects, images, charts and such. Experiment. If you're familiar with MS Office or its competitors, the choices will be pretty intuitive.
Publishing Your Report
Under the File menu, you can print your report or export it to other applications such as Word and Excel or as a PDF. You can make it editable or read only. You can export your data into a flat file if that's what you need. Using the print option, you can send your report out as a fax. Export options also let you send your report directly to one of several email applications.

How to Fix Internet Explorer When It Can't Open a WebpageIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Find out whether you can view any web pages. Open Internet Explorer and type in the address of a site with which you are unfamiliar. If you need an idea, look around the room and type in a brand name you see, such as 'Sony.com' or 'Saltines.com.' The reason for this is that if you have recently visited a site, the 'cached' files might appear on your screen and not provide an accurate determination. If you are able to see a new site, the issue is likely with the website you are trying to visit.
Check the connection to the modem or router. If you are unable to view any web pages, your connection might have been lost. Check physical connections to see if anything is unplugged. If you are using a wireless connection, verify that it is still working.
Unplug the modem. Pull both the power cord and the phone line or Ethernet plug out of the back of the modem and leave it alone for a few minutes. Plug the cords back in and allow it to power up completely. Try the connection again.
Contact your Internet service provider. A cable, DSL or phone line outage is a common cause for connectivity issues.
Delete Internet Explorer's history. Close any open applications and open a new Internet Explorer window. Click 'Tools' and then click 'Delete Browsing History.' Click each 'Delete' button, except passwords if you allow IE to retain them for you.

How to Rebuild Dynaco A25 SpeakersIn Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Pry the grille frames out of the speakers, exposing the drivers. Unscrew the nameplate from the front of the grille, and remove the cloth from the frame. Using the old cloth as a sizing template, cut new cloth and attach it by wrapping it around the frame edges and stapling it in place.
Unscrew the woofers and tweeters and unsolder their connections. Send the woofers to a reputable reconer. Ask for new woofer terminal boards, original equipment cones, voice coils, dust caps and butyl rubber surrounds.
Cut the leads of the capacitors protecting the tweeters and pull them out. Hot glue new 5.1 uF capacitors in place and solder the leads back in place.
Solder the tweeter leads onto the new tweeters, observing polarity. Screw the tweeters back in place. Cut a rectangle of automotive felt to fit inside the tweeter part of the grille frame. Cut a 3-inch round hole in the felt where the tweeter will fire through. Apply contact cement to the felt rectangle and the area on the front baffle where it will fit around the tweeter and inside the grille frame. Dry to tack and apply.
Resolder the woofer leads, observing polarity. Screw the woofers back in place.
Lightly sand scratches and apply heavy Danish rubbing oil to restore the finish.
