Tips from our free
newsletter for Crystal Reports designers
Chelsea Technologies is the publisher
of Crystal Clear, a free newsletter of tips and hints for users of Crystal Reports,
Seagate Info and Crystal Enterprise. We published our first issue in November 1999. We
have had a great response to this and it is now finding an international
audience with hundreds of readers in New Zealand, Australia, USA and over
26 other countries.
The format of the newsletter is as acrobat 6.0 PDF file. We
recommend you download the latest Acrobat reader to view this. The
Back issues are zipped copies of the newsletters with a separate zip file
for each year.
