Exporting to Lotus Domino
You must have Version 3.0 or later of the Lotus Domino client. You will also
require, at a minimum, depositor access. Crystal Reports will not export to a
Lotus Domino OS/2 client.
Note: Before you export to Lotus Domino, you must create a Form called
“Report Form” that includes a Comments field that you can edit, and a View
that has two columns: one called “#” (created by default) and another that
points to the Comments field.
