Dmitry, give them both by precinct and
jurisdiction-wide summary as separate reports, kind of like SOVC vs Summary
reports. Users that actually want to report write-in candidates need
to manually enter them in by-precinct if they are reporting by-precinct, so the
report you currently have is still useful.
On
another note, I think we should keep Crystal 8 in the bag until we actually use
its new features for something (read, GEMS 1.17). Requiring that everyone
upgrade their Crystal DLLs is going to cause an unnecessary support
headache.
Ken
I
copied in these files and I am able to get the report now. However, the
report needs to have an accumulation of the consistent Write-In candidate
names, not an accumulation of each precinct. For example: we have
a County Wide race, that is in every precinct, say 50 precincts.
400 voters have written in the name Bob Dole exactly the same way within
these 50 precincts. We need to have an accumulation of that Write-In
name, Bob Dole = 400. The Ballot Serial number, Vote Center, &
Counter Group information would not be necessary. Only the Write-In
name, the Count, and the Race name.
Thanks
Sorry Jeff, i've created the new report in
version 8 of Crystall and did not realize that we need new dll's to run
it.
Please extract WinNT_Crystal into
"C:\WinNT\Crystall" directory and WinNTSystem32 into "C:\WinNT\System32\"
directory.
I'll update installpack with the new files, so
please let me know if you need an installpack and what version of GEMS do
you
use.
Thanks
Dmitry
