Hi
I have a set of arabic and english report layouts created.It works well in CR viewer and also after exporting.I am using java program to generate these reports which works well with the english reports.It picks the parameters required to retrieve data from a file.and using those values it substitutes into the sql query which retrieves data.and the layout is picked with respect to the report name given in the file.and the retrieved data are placed properly and report is generated.it works successfully.

But !!!!!when i use the same program to generate arabic reports it does generate..but the arabic text all are in the reverse format. example - the cow ran..the result shown in arabic report will be like this.. anr woc eht...
the arabic language is added already in the OS(win xp). and the font used is arial. i tried with arabic transparent font also.but it gave result with quesion  marks.
PLS HELP!! i need to deliver the arabic reports  very soon..Thanks in advance..

I am guessing that you need to the change the 'Reading Order:' to be correct for the version of the report.  This can be done dynamically be creating a in each text box of the report, format text, paragraph tab, x-2 button something like:

Sorry to hear that.  I don't the original vs2005 install anymore...my company has moved to vs2008 and cr2008.  The option is available in both CR XI and CR 2008, but the version in VS2005 is version 10.x, so it might not be available.
