     Posted: 05 Nov 2009 at 1:42pm
In creating a new Crystal XI report, I completed the report header and when starting in the 'Details' section I noticed that in Design View, it only shows a single 'Details' section, but in the Preview screen, there are 10 'Details' section. Why would this happen?
 
I haven't placed any fields in this section yet, and even closed and reopened the report but there wasn't any change. Is there a way to remove these extra 'Details' sections? Also, I haven't created any additional 'Details' sections, they are all Da.

It is not really 10 detail sections but rather 10 detail rows (you have 10 rows of data in your dataset).

Once you use a field in a report even if it is int he select epert and not actually on the report canvas it can show you how many detail rows there are (unless you have suppress blank section check in the section expert)

Just go into the section expert
click on the details section and check the "suppress blank section" box

Thanks DBlank. I did try to suppress the blank sections but it didn't work. Somehow I screwed up this report, but to keep things going I just pasted the report header into a new report.
