Exception for Null drop down box missing Formula Workshop

[Former Member]

I am using Crystal Reports version 10 in VB.net 2008. In the Formula workshop in Crystal reports, the "Exceptions for nulls" drop down box is missing. I have a different drop down with two options CrystalSyntax and Basic syntax

CR Designer built into Visual Studio is CR Basic, a lot of options and features are missing from that version.

Use a full build of CR Designer to design reports.

You could set it in code also, maybe. I no longer have VS 2008 installed.

If you are going to upgrade VS to VS 2010 -> 2015 then go here for the instlaler into VS and redist packages:

Do not install the redist packages on your VS PC.

Use the Object Borwser and see if this available:

ConvertNullFieldToDefault

I'm not sure when the "Exceptions for Nulls" option was added to Crystal. It may not have been available in the version that you're using.
