Keeping track of refreshes in Crystal Reports 2008

I am curious to know if there is a way to tell if a report has been printed or ran. For example, the user enters in a inspectionnumber and hits apply and then clicks print and then prints the report. Can i know if the report has been printed? is there a way to use local variables to track that, some sort of loop?

I've never tested this, but here's a theory you can try.

In your Database Expert, go to your Current Connections and Add Command. Use this to write up a SQL query to save the usage data to a table in your data source (If your data source is read only, just add a delimited text file as an additional data source and output your usage data to that instead.)

The best example I have of this is @ http://www.scribd.com/doc/2190438/20-Secrets-of-Crystal-Reports. On page 39, you'll see a method for creating a table of contents that more or less uses this method.
