Is your email safe? Concerns about privacy have led to the development of services that encrypt email messages so that only the intended recipients can read them.

Crystal Reports is a powerful Windows report writer bundled with MAS 90, MAS 200, and MAS 500 that provides presentation-quality output for your custom reports. Using tables, cross-tabulations, or one of 12 graph styles, you can clearly communicate your accounting information. You can create reports with drill-down capabilities, and run your reports at pre-determined times, even unattended.

Get the most out of this essential tool by attending MCG’s Sage-authorized training classes.

Sign up for the one-day “Introduction to Crystal Reports” on November 28, and/or the two-day “Beyond the Basics” on November 30 and December 1. Please note that the Data File Structures class (held on November 27) is a prerequisite for any Crystal Reports class.

Contact MCG at 404.841.6240 (Atlanta) or 813.854.3388 (Tampa) for more course details, or check training schedules on MCG's training center website.
