I am new to Crystal Reports.<br />
<br />
I am building a report and it looks at 3 million records. Is there a way to limit the search results of CR? When I make a change to the layout or a field, I do not want to wait till CR runs through a seach of so many records. Is there a way to limit the number of results CR will bring back or a way to limit how many records CR will look at?<br />

Limiting records in Crystal Reports

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
