Bill of Lading - Adding packing slips

In Crystal you can link the BOLHead.BOLNum to the ShipHead.ShipLog in the
visual linking screen. Accept the error that tells you the fields are
different types and exit. Next go to Database and Show SQL Query. Edit
BOLHead.BOLNum to show string(BOLHead.BOLNum) and it should work fine.

Is there a means of linking additional packing slips to a previously created
BOL?

Is there a way to print linked packing slip #'s on BOL? I can not find a
link between the data structure to create the needed report and of course
they are not included in the .dbf files for the BOL report.

Is anyone else tired of the slow delay to search for BOL's? This has been a
problem since 3.0 but nothing gets done. This area of the program could use
a lot of revamping but apparently it is not used by the larger Vantage
users.


Thanks for any assistance.

Darren,

In 3.0 the link was bewteen the BOL # and the Log field on the Pack
Slips. The BIG problem is the BOL # is numeric and the Log field is
alphanumeric which make it impossile to link them in Cyrstal or
Report Builder. As I recall in testing 5.0, nothing had changed.
