About The Author
Beezix was founded by trainers, and has always had a strong focus on the learner. Extensive industry experience made us aware of the need for a line of high-quality, trainer-produced courseware, and led to the creation of Beezix Quick Reference guides in 1994. The cards were intended to meet the requirements both of trainers in the classroom, and of software users at their workstations.

Reader Reviews
I guess if you've had less than a few hours of Crystal Reports experience this might be somewhat useful... but the index of any good book or the easily searched online documentation (which comes with the product) is superior. After a few hours of using Crystal Reports this "cheat sheet" isn't going to be consulted again. The tasks listed are very basic and the instructions offered (even for these basic tasks) are often incomplete. I'd recommend a pass on this. Just run through an online tutorial and you will cover everything on this sheet and more--plus, you will save three bucks. Comment | | (Report this)
