    <p><strong>Ladies &amp; Gentlemen,</strong></p> <p>I have been, thus far, successful in programmatically pulling records from a MySQL database to create a crystal report from a single table. Using the code below, I'm trying to join two tables and display their matched records on the report:</p> <pre><code> Try Dim myConnectionString As String = "Server=" &amp; FormLogin.ComboBoxServerIP.SelectedItem &amp; ";Port=3306;Uid=parts;Password=parts;Database=accounting;" Dim dbConn As New MySqlConnection(myConnectionString) Dim dbQuery As String = "SELECT * " &amp; _ "FROM cc_master a JOIN customer b ON b.accountNumber = a.customer_accountNumber;" Dim dbAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter(dbQuery, dbConn) Dim dbTable As New DataTable dbAdapter.Fill(dbTable) Dim report As New rptCardListAll report.SetDataSource(dbTable) CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report CrystalReportViewer1.Zoom(1) Catch ex As Exception 'MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try </code></pre> <p>The problem I'm running into now is that when the report runs at run-time, all the db records are populated on the report except for the one field that I'm pulling from the CUSTOMER table. Below is a screen shot. Notice the blank CUSTOMER NAME - this shouldn't be blank because I know for a fact there's data in that field for every record.</p> <p>The query works fine when I run it directly on the DB using MySQL Workbench, so I can't figure out why the report won't pull the requested information. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jBT5r.jpg" alt="Report Snapshot"></p> <p><strong>EDIT: Screenshot showing DataSet Visualizer during debug containing the missing field (nameCOMPANY)</strong></p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/YE2u6.jpg" alt="Report Snapshot"></p>

    1. COWhat's the format of this report? The 'customer name' field looks like it's in a header block, and so I wouldn't expect to source this data from the primary query, which renders the records in the body of the report. I bet if you moved that field to the body of the report it would start working (albeit repeated for every record in a way that you don't want). I've not worked with CR for many years, but hopefully that might give you some ideas to start digging.

    2. COI wonder, could you attach `MIN(customer_name)` to that field? If the customer name is the same across all fields in the recordset, you just need an aggregate function to pull one of those copies out.

    3. COIs it necessary that you put the `*` sign to get all the fields? why don't you put the exact field names so you'll be sure you're getting what you expected?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
