Hi,
 
Is it possiable to change the width of filed in detail section and it's corresponding header at run time, using crystal report[No DOT NET CODE].
 
Actually Iam rendering the column dynamically in my report. My report maximum can render 3 column. Say for eg If i get 3rd column data empty then I want to hide that column and distrucbute it's space[width] between other two column.
Eg 1:
 
         -------COL1------------COL2------------COL3-------
 
Eg 2:
 
        --------------COL1-------------------COL2--------------
 
Thanks
Siraj

yes, at least if it is CR XI.
 
Look at the 'Size and Position' option.  You can dynamically change the both the size and the position of the field.  The biggest item to note: the measurements are points, so if you want to move 1 inch to the right, it is 1440, not 1 as you would suppose by looking at the X & Y coordinates.  To move to the left is -1440.  So multiply your movements in inches by 1440 and things should be fine (same goes for sizing).

Sorry, I don't know offhand.  What is default to VS2005 doesn't, unfortunately, I am not working with VS2008. I would think that it does, but I really don't know the version packaged with VS2008.
 
CR XI does, so I am guessing that VS2008 does.

you can't do it at run time, it has to be in design time.  You might be able to access it through .Net, but you didn't want to do that.
 
you would create a formula in the x-1 button, but if you can't see that button, I don't know how to accomplish the task.
