tell crystal what to do in vb.net

scorpion5306 #1 / 4	tell crystal what to do in vb.net I use Crystal Reports in the Visual Studio.NET environment and I badly need this question answered. It has not been answered in any ng I have posted it too and I bought a book called "Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.NET" which does not have the answers either. I have a vb.net windows app that uses a datagrid and report view which the user can toggle back and forth between with the use of a checkbox. In datagrid view I can add or remove columns with this code: If CheckBox2.Checked = False Then Dsjjkp1.Tables("JJKSUP").Columns.Remove("Description") End If If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then Dsjjkp1.Tables("JJKSUP").Columns.IndexOf("Description") How can I tell Crystal to remove/add this column and reformat in vb.net depending on the what checkboxes are selected? Right now it still produces the column though it is empty which looks very bad. I have gone everywhere else and no one answers this question.... Thank you.

Brian Bischo #2 / 4	tell crystal what to do in vb.net You can't tell CR to reformat. You could hide the column but there is still a gap in your report. The other option is to change the binding of each column so that you shift each field to the left and then hide the very last column.

Francis Lu #3 / 4	tell crystal what to do in vb.net In Crystal Reports 9, you can use the ResultFieldController in CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument to remove a field from the result field list.
