How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java?

Hi,
Could someone please tell me the java statement to reference a textObject on a Crystal report. I am struggling to find the info in the docs and work out how the object model works.
My textObject on the report is called "VersionNumber" and I want to locate it on the report (I know it will be in the page footer) and then retrieve its value and change it.
I've managed to get a handle to the report using,
ReportClientDocument localDoc;
localDoc = getReport();
localDoc.open("rassdk://" + reportFile.getAbsolutePath(), OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Rob.

I've found a way of referencing the textObject using the following line of java code (used in conjunction with the preceding code).
IReportObject iro = localDoc.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("VersionNumber");
I can put "iro" into a Watch (within Eclipse) and I can find the contents of the textObject there under the Paragraph tree, but I am now stuck with how to reference this within Java.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated (and I will of course award points !)
Regards
Robert.

How do you reference a Formular Object on a Crystal Report using Java

Hi all,
I am trying to reference an object on my report which contains a Formula field.
I have read the following 2 threads, but they refer to textObjects:
[How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java|Re: How do you reference a textObject on a Crystal report using Java?]
[Changing the text of ITextObject programatically|Re: Changing the text of ITextObject programatically]
But I cannot even get those to work. I can reference a object which refers to a database field but as soon as I try
reference a textObject or reportObject I just get a NULL variable.
Below is the code I am useing
IReportObject dbField = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB1");
IReportObject textBob = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("BOB2");
"BOB1" is the name of my DB field Object, and "BOB2" can be a Text box or a Formula item and I just get nothing.
I have just tested it with a FieldHeadingObject and that returns a valid object, so clearly I am going about this the wrong way
for objects I place on the reports which are not driven by the database items.
Ultimately what I want to do is reference an object in the Report Footer which will contain the RecordCount of the number of
records contained in the report, which I am them going to use to determine if the report holds data,
if it does I will print it, else ignore it and move on the the next report. I am doing this so that I can at an extra filter to split
a report up into groups and produce a sinlge PDF for each group instead of one massive PDF containing all the groups.
So if someone has a solution to any of my problems I would be very greatful, and I dont mind being told Im an idiot and should
rather do it another way, as long as you supply that other way
Thanks for the help
Darren

Forgot to add am using CR4Ev2 SP3

Right I have made some headway.
Firstly, Im an idiot. I was making changes and setting up test fields on my report, but then when running the app, I had it looking at
the backup report, which would explain why all the new textbox fields were not being found.
The stupiditity did force me to delve deep and work out a fair bit of how the reports work, so cant complain too much. BUT, I am still
not able to return values of Formula fields and formulas extra. Could someone tell me if this is even possible. I get retrieve the formula field
name, and properties but not its value once the report has been populated. Am I wasting my time?
Well I will continue dismantling my reports till I find the answer, or someone points me in the right direction.
If any one is interested this is the code I used to drill down to my text boxes:
IReportObject recCount = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController().findObjectByName("TB1");
ITextObject obj_RecCount = (ITextObject) recCount;
System.out.println(obj_RecCount.getName());
Paragraphs objP = obj_RecCount.getParagraphs();
for (int i = 0; i < objP.size(); i++){
     ParagraphElements pE = objP.getParagraph(i).getParagraphElements();
     for (int j = 0;j < pE.size(); j++){
          IParagraphTextElement pEE = (ParagraphTextElement) pE.getParagraphElement(j);
          System.out.println(pEE.getText());

How do you insert a "prior period" in Crystal Reports 2008

I am constructing a income statement that compares this current period versus the same period from last year. I used the parameter field and filter list for one time period. Is it possible to have a comparison time period on the same report.
For example Revenue and Expense amounts for the 2nd Qtr of 2010 and on the same report on the next column 2nd Qtr Revenue and Expenses for the 2nd Qtr of 2009?
Thanks for any help
jim

Not sure how your parameters are working but assuming you have a date range and you enter
01/01/2010, 31/03/2010
Your select statement will look like
(DateField = {?daterangeParam} or
datefield in dateadd("yyyy", -1, minimum({?daterangeParam}) ) to dateadd("yyyy", -1, maximum({?daterangeParam}) ) )
Wrap in brackets to include other filters, this should get parsed to SQL with out any impact on performance
