We are using VStudio 2005 Professional at work and it comes with a version of Crystal Reports. Does anyone know if this version of CR is a sample or is it a full version Thanks.

    Oh, I didn't get that from your original post. I'm not sure, but I don't think that has anything to do with versions. It sounds like you've got some empty properties on your report and you'd like to hide them. If that's the case, you can conditionally suppress fields or do some text formatting to "pretty print".

    It's a full version in that you can deploy reports freely withouth having to worry about licensing.

    I'm not 100% sure, but in earlier versions of VB the crystal reports was slightly different from the shrink wrapped package from Crystal (Seagate / Business Objects). That said the files were completely compatible between the two and the one included with VB provided full working functionality that could be freely distributed runtime free licensing.

    Well, what I am trying to do is generate reports that contain biographic data such as addresses; and what I want to happen is when a field is empty, I want to move the subsequent fields up to remove the space when the report is viewed. Is this possible in the version of CR that comes with VS I have tried endlessly to access the objects on the report but to no avail. Any info would be most appreciated.

  • AndrewBadera

    You could insert the possible empty field into a seperate section, like it's own detail section, and set the default height of both the field and the section as small as possible and set the can grow property to true, allowing the field to expand and contract based on the presence and length of data appearing in the field.
