Positioning of Subreports in Crystal Reports

[Former Member]

Hey. I have been creating Crystal Reports within Visual Studio and I always run into the same issue regarding the positioning of elements on each page of the report when using sub reports.

For example lets say one page makes use of 3 subreports. All three of these reports can expand based on the data passed to them.

I'll place the 3 subreports on the page.

If the subreport grows very large it will overlap the subreport below it. I was under the impression that the subreports would strecth and push the other elements below it.

Is there a way to position the subreports on the page such that they automatically push anything below them down on the page?

Hello Clifton,

Are the subreports in a different section than each other? You may run into issue if they are all placed inside the same box of a section. If you go to the section expert and make new sections, one for each subreport, it should scale correctly.

Sean,

Thanks for the quick reply. They are all in the same section. I will move them to seperate sections and see what happens.
