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 Use WordPressIn Feburary 2016 24,
In Feburary 2016 24,
Go to your hosting company's website and log into your account. Make sure you are at the control panel of your user profile once you are logged in.
Scroll through the control panel or profile options until you see WordPress. Depending on what type of hosting service you have it will be listed in the 'Software/Services' section of the control panel.
Click on the WordPress icon and choose whether you want to install a new version or import an existing installation.
Check you email for a message from WordPress with your user name and password. This is what you will use to access your WordPress account. You may always have the option to change the default generated password into your own code.
Log into your WordPress account. Click 'Appearance on the left hand toolbar and select 'Add New Themes. Choose which theme options you want and click 'Find Themes' to find a theme. Click 'Install > Install Now > Activate' to enable a theme. You may also disable themes by going to 'Appeareance > Themes > Delete.'
Go to 'Plug-ins > Add New Plug-ins' to search for plug-ins to add to your sites. Plug-ins may offer the latest Twitter Tools or even SEO for you website.
Explore the options on the 'Dashboard.' Do not be afraid to edit your site's PHP by going to 'Appearance and clicking 'Editor.' However if you choose to do this make sure you copy and paste the HTML code into a .Doc file so you can save a backup. Although WordPress is an extremely easy to use software it does not mean that it is error free.

How to Plan a Bike Ride FundraiserIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Select a date for the event based on other athletic events in the area or fundraisers that may take away from your core audience. Choose a rain date if the target audience is diverse in cycling experience or geared toward families and children. However, if the charity ride will be geared toward experienced riders or mountain bikers, weather should not deter them from riding.
Form a steering committee that includes at least an event coordinator and volunteer coordinator who have experience organizing a cycling event and/or participating as a rider in similar events. They will help you avoid overlooking details that are important to cyclists and bike rides.
Establish a budget, expenses and target fundraising goal.
Select a location and a back-up location (ideally four to six months in advance.) You'll need enough time to get permissions, submit necessary permits and coordinate municipalities to lock down the details of the event. Keep the back-up location in mind, and be ready to move fast if your first choice is denied.
Choose the bike route. For a mountain bike event, match trail difficulty with the experience levels of the riders. You may want to select one route and have more advanced riders complete multiple routes. Mark trails clearly with arrows and warning markers that cannot be confused with existing trail markers.For a road bike ride, come up with a set of distance options for riders. Typically, a set of 10-, 25-, 50-mile routes will satisfy most charity cyclists. If you feel adventurous, include a 75- or 100-mile route. Use the longest route as the 'base' for all other distances; for the shorter distances, figure out turnaround points. Develop a turn-by-turn cue-sheet.
Establish rest areas every 10 miles for a road bike event and every 3 miles for a mountain bike event. For each rest area, arrange for a set of volunteers (preferably one that has some form of medical experience), water, food, first aid, a safe place for riders to set their bikes and a means for riders to go to the bathroom.
Location, Sponsors, Registration
Contact municipalities, parks and recreation committees, and police departments in the area of the bike ride. If you are hosting a mountain bike ride, you will likely have to file a permit application to use the property and arrange for insurance. For a road ride, some townships require police presence and permission to post signs promoting the event and marking the courses.
Approach local bicycle shops, outdoor and sports centers, and gyms owners for mechanical assistance, to hand out invitations to their customers and to provide volunteers or run a rest area in exchange for marketing. If you plan to provide swag bags to participants, ask bike shop owners to donate items for the bags.
Contact local supermarkets and food stores to donate food and water for before, during and after the ride in exchange for advertising. Ask local businesses to sponsor a rest area by providing food, water, mechanical support and/or port-a-potties and inviting employees who aren't working during the hours of your event to run the rest area. Invite business owners to form teams to ride in your event.
Post your event on Active.com or BikeReg.com to accept participant registrations. Active.com has greater visibility and may attract noncyclists to the event. BikeReg.com will target specifically cyclists.
Arrange EMT support, support wagons, course markers, bibs (RoadID sponsors rides and can provide bibs as part of their support) and a volunteer schedule. Contact local fire departments, Lions clubs and volunteer ambulance corps to provide medical support.
Obtain 'Special Event' insurance as needed. Most parks and recreation departments will let you know what their insurance requirements are. Bear in mind costs and requirements will vary greatly depending on the state your event is in, whether or not your ride takes place on state or local property and the number of anticipated riders.

How Do I Play a PHP File?In Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Adobe Dreamweaver is a web-designing program that is very effective in reading and playing PHP files. Dreamweaver is one of the most popular web design programs in the world and it can be used to create, edit, and delete various web programs and files that create a web page. Dreamweaver MX can be used to write and create PHP applications and can open and read pre-existing applications. Just open the file you need to look at and Dreamweaver will read it and convert it into a legible format so you can read the code.
Web Browser
If you are simply trying to view the end result of the PHP programming and not actually edit it, any web browser should be able to open and play the PHP files so long as there are no errors in the programming. If the PHP scripts have errors in them, the browser will likely not play the file or show an error message. Otherwise, the browser will open the PHP files as the web server converts it into an HTML coding that the browser can read. Just go to the website that has the PHP files in question and the browser should open it. If the file is actually on your computer, use a browser to open it and you may still be able to see it, depending on the browser.
