    when i run br120 now i get the following viewable output files:

    BR120.prt ... the report showing what was processed/produced

    custom5 ... a ??? format of the invoice that uses the tilde (~) character to designate the trailing value;
    e.g. ~STARTHEADER
    ~field Invoice Number
    IN 00000001 00000000
    ~field Invoice Date
    ...
    ...
    ~ENDHEADER
    ...

    invoice1 ... text version of a printable invoice
    invoice1.pdf ... pdf version of the invoice


    i'd like to get an invoice in an XML format that has the normal start/stop tags used by XML i.e., <>, </>
    i'm trying to get Crystal Reports to read the custom5 file but am having no luck.

    can anyone offer any insight or direction on this....

    is anyone using Crystal Reports to print invoices?

    thanks in advance!

      Use Invoice format Customized Invoice on BR11 setup and you can get an electronic file to send to a third party vendor.

      Yes, everyone uses Crystal for BR invoices.

        convert the custom5 to a csv file and will be easier to read and better formated for what you want.
