    I tried adding this command:

    SELECT "employee.company", "employee.employee", "employee.last_name", "employee.first_name", "employee.middle_init", "employee.emp_status", "hrhistory.beg_date", "hrhistory.date_stamp", "persacthst.action_code", "hrhistory.a_value as historical_job_code", "hrhistory.seq_nbr", "jobcode.description as historical_job_description"
    FROM "hrhistory", "persacthst", "employee", "jobcode"
    WHERE "hrhistory.act_obj_id" = "persacthst.obj_id"
    AND "hrhistory.company" = "employee.company"
    AND "hrhistory.employee" = "employee.employee"
    AND "employee.company" = "jobcode.company"
    AND "hrhistory.a_value" = "jobcode.job_code"
    AND "hrhistory.fld_nbr" = "19"
    ORDER BY "employee.employee", "hrhistory.beg_date", "hrhistory.date_stamp"

    but get the following error:
    Query Engine Error: 'ORA-00972: identifier is too long'
    Not Supported. Details: Fail to execute SQL statement.
    OCI Call: OCIStmtExecute

      Get rid of all the double-quotes.
      Also hrhistory.fld_nbr is a numeric field so don't wrap 19 in quotes.

          I'm assuming you're using the Oracle provider with Crystal...not the Lawson one, right?
          If so, are you sure that the username which you are using to login has access to those tables?
          Also, paste the query here so that we can see it...

            Error: Query Engine Error: Table or view does not exist.


            I'm guessing that you still have quotes around table names, e.g.
            FROM "hrhistory", "persacthst", "employee", "jobcode"
            This will cause Oracle to say the table does not exist, because it will search for table "hrhistory" and will not consider this a match for the real table name HRHISTORY. Remove these unnecessary quotes to get
            FROM hrhistory, persacthst, employee, jobcode
            then Oracle will find the table regardless of whether you list the name in upper or lower case.

            Without all the unnecessary quotes you would have something like:

            SELECT employee.company, employee.employee, employee.last_name, employee.first_name, employee.middle_init, employee.emp_status, hrhistory.beg_date, hrhistory.date_stamp, persacthst.action_code, hrhistory.a_value as historical_job_code, hrhistory.seq_nbr, jobcode.description as historical_job_description
            FROM HRHISTORY, persacthst, employee, jobcode
            WHERE hrhistory.act_obj_id = persacthst.obj_id
            AND hrhistory.company = employee.company
            AND hrhistory.employee = employee.employee
            AND employee.company = jobcode.company
            AND hrhistory.a_value = jobcode.job_code
            AND hrhistory.fld_nbr = 19
            ORDER BY employee.employee, hrhistory.beg_date, hrhistory.date_stamp

              Got it to work! I did have a pair of quotes left.

              Here's my Query anyway:

              SELECT EMPLOYEE.COMPANY, EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE, EMPLOYEE.LAST_NAME, EMPLOYEE.FIRST_NAME, EMPLOYEE.MIDDLE_INIT, EMPLOYEE.EMP_STATUS, HRAHISTORY.BEG_DATE, HRHISTORY.DATE_STAMP, PERSACTHST.ACTION_CODE, HRHISTORY.A_VALUE, HRHISTORY.SEQ_NBR, JOBECODE.DESCRIPTION
              FROM LAWSON.HRHISTORY HRHISTORY, LAWSON.PERSACTHST PERSACTHST, LAWSON.EMPLOYEE EMPLOYEE, LAWOSN.JOBCODE JOBCODE
              WHERE HRHISTORY.ACT_OBJ_ID = PERSACTHST.OBJ_ID
              AND HRHISTORY.COMPANY = EMPLOYEE.COMPANY
              AND HRHISTORY.EMPLOYEE = EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE
              AND EMPLOYEE.COMPANY = JOBCODE.COMPANY
              AND HRHISTORY.A_VALUE = JOBCODE.JOB_CODE
              AND HRHISTORY.FLD_NBR = 19
              ORDER BY EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE, HRHISTORY.BEG_DATE, HRHISTORY.DATE_STAMP

              Thanks guys - this place rocks!!
