work around for unit number export in events

We have run into the same problem with the Event canned reports and do not have anyone on staff who knows Crystal Reports (yikes!). We normally do not use the name tag option in RE. So what I have done is add some things to the event participant defaults so that we can export a unit number. Bear with me on this one, might hard to explain over email...

All of our participant defaults contain the following (which can be exported)

"print name tag" = name i.e Suzie Chapstick
"number of tags" = 1
"status" = not printed

We then export this info (except for status) along with the ticket type so that we know that "Suzie Chapstick" bought "1" "general ticket" for example.

I also shoudl note that we set up our events module so that each attendee has his/her own record that lists the type of ticket even if that ticket was paid for by someone else.

Hope this helps (and isnt confusing!) We're pretty new to using NetEvent and Events so we are just testing these things out as well.
