I'm very new to crystal and have an issue that's possibly caused by me or there is a simple fix (I hope).
 
when I open crystal both the screen design and preview panes should be available.  But some reports only have the design screen making it difficult to see the finished report.
 
all my reports where created in the same way so why does the preview pane only open in some of them.
 
Thanks
Melanie

you may need to pass a parameter to the ones that only show design, have you tried hitting the arrows that form a circle to refresh?

To activate the preview screen just go to "View" on your main menu, and select "preview".

thought that sounded too easy!!
 
the option of preview does not exist one the reports without a preview but the option appears on the reports that do....I hope this makes sense?
 
anything else I could try?
