Is there a way to change letterheads on multiple reports automatically (not manually)?
I have a large number of crystal reports that contain the same letterhead.
The company has recently moved and would like to change all the addresses in the letterheads (header of reports), is there a way of doing this automatically?
If I have no choice but to manually change each letterhead, is there way to avoid this problem in the future? ie, can I link the company logo and text that is to appear in the letterhead form a word document (or some other way to minimize manual editing of a large number of reports (letters).
Thanks in advance
PS: I do not have a great deal of experience with crystal reports, so I apologize in advance if this is a silly question for all the seasoned experts.

You can create a small report that contains only the logo and address information. Then put this report into your main report headers as a subreport. In the future you can just change the subreport and the changes will carry through to all of your main reports.
