I'm hearing 2 issues here.
1) Modifing standard forms like Job Travelers, PO and Invoices. You
don't need ODBC and Merant drivers to do that. You just point Report
Style Maintenance at a modified report and you're done. The data for
the reports is generated at print or print preveiw time in
C:\vntgwork as DBase2 dbf files. A Crystal Reports Print Engine
(CRPE) is called by Vantage with parameters pointing at the rpt and
dbf files.
2) Using Crystal reports as the reporting tool attached to the
Vantage database. The Merant drivers have been included with the
vantage installation since 5.0 or 5.1. Search the epicor site for
setup instuctions. When it is setup Crystal connects through ODBC.
