  I am evaluating Active with a view to replacing Crystal Reports. We have a large number of CR reports that will need to be migrated to a new platform. These reports have many text fields containing mail merges.
  
  E.g.
  
  “{MyData.Surname}, {AccData.FirstNames}”).

  What is the easiest way to do this in Active?

  Hi Sean,

  You may use the RichTextBox control (Section Reports) or FormattedText control (Page/RDLX reports) to create Mail Merge in ActiveReports 18. You may refer to the attached links from our documentation as well:

  • Create Mail Merge with RichTextBox
  • FormattedText Control for Mail Merge

  We hope this helps!
