Sage / Crystal Work File Database Links

I am starting with a base report that uses a "work file" database - let's say Packing List.  Can I link to another work file database and expect to get any data from the second work file?  I'm thinking NO, since work file style databases are only populated when a report is actually run.

Comments?

THANKS

    You are correct. When printing is started the programming behind it creates a works tables and gives it a time stamp. This is the file that is used for the report and not the basic works file so no it is not possible to use another works file because it is empty and there is no way to populate it.
