Topic: forcing a standard number of detail lines Posted: 18 Apr 2011 at 6:37am
Good Morning,
I have a form that I am reproducing in crystal. The preprinted form has 6 lines on it. I need a way in Crystal to print 6 detail lines even if there is less than the 6. The remaining detail lines would be blank of information but would need to print the graphic I have behind the detail lines.

if you used a stored proc, you could probably dummy up the code to get the 6 lines that you need.
You might try an outer join of a table that has 6 rows in it, like an excel spread sheet, but you would need a row number of some sort that goes from 1-6 which is probably not available in your datatable.
Stored proc sounds like the best solution, at least that is what I would do.
Perhaps someone else more clever than me can come up with a better solution.
