I don't know, but I will try to find out which modules we are getting. You have all been very helpful. I had hoped this would blow over, but it is gaining strength from the upper management folks in Washington. Thank you for your help.

Put SAP into the search engine of your choice to get started or put SAP accessibility into the search engine and see what comes up. Do you know what modules of SAP are to be adopted in your office? SAP and Crystal Reports are separate independently developed products from different vendors. Crystal Reports is a report writing program that can interface with a variety of databases. Frequently the data used for report-writing functions has been cleaned, standardized, restructured from transaction databases to support specific report structures. There is a lot more that could be said, but is this enough to start?
