use fomulas in multiple reports
I am new to Crystal Reporting and have Crystal XI Standard installed
I am finding that I am re-using the same fomulas in a number of different reports and having to re-create them in each new report.
If a change is needed to the formula I then hav to go into each report to make the change multiple times.
Do not have Crystal Server or Business Objects Enterprise Server so unable to use the Repository faciity. s there a way for a single user to share formulas between reports?

I don't think there's anything you can do in this case. Copy and paste is all you have.

I was worried this was the case
Is there any point in updgrading to Crystal Reports XI Developer or Professional?

This limitation is not different in those higher versions.

Already using the copy/paste method.
Best solution at the moment but easy to miss some reports.
Just looked at rpt.Inspectot
Looks like it would do the job perfectly but $395! more than we paid for Crystal XI
Is there a single user version that is less or a cheaper source anyone knows of?

Just re-read your OP, and I mis-read what you were asking for (sorry).
