	Hi, I am having trouble editing a Crystal Report by using VB. I can populate the report etc but the I bascially want to code/edit the sections within the Report. How can I access the sections and then edit it by using VB ??? Thanks,

	I am sure it can be done.... Biggest question, what sort of editing? Adding/Deleting fields, changing data structure, or just moving/hiding/showing existing fields? CR doesn't like the structure of the report to change, but I am sure it's possible, I just haven't done it.

	I was looking to edit for example: Where I have designed the report and placed an image object, drill down into the vb of the report and then set properties. The reason being: I have pictures which will be loaded and are linked by a reference, each type has its own reference. But what I have managed to do, is: create a parameter, link a ole picture to the parameter, then set the parameter's location in the vb.net. This has got around my problem but still would be great to know how to hard code/edit vaules in the report: ie textobject1.text ="text"

	hmm... I don't know, since I have tried to manipulate images in a report, and CR doesn't provide any methods to interrogate the image so that one can change the size....but if the application knows the size, I guess you should be able to manipulate the size of an object. I think that in general you would need to name each object and I think that you can manipulate objects if you know the names, but again, I haven't ever done this. I usually just manipulate the data, pass it to the report and then have the report respond to the data.
