Diferent previews of the same report

28 Views

Hi, I'm using CR2008 under WXP. I'm developing web with VS2008 and CR2008.

I design a report, and set width of textboxes. You never know what will be the size of a DB field, you only knows the maximoum size (depending the size of the field of the table). Then, designing a report can be hard because its problem, so, the only thing yuo can do is to approximate textbox size.

Now, you have a DB field greater than your textbox, and Crystal cuts it (if you don't check "Can grow"). Now, if you preview the same report in a web using crviewer, textbox has no size, because the report displays thw whole text of DB field.

Now, imagine that its report is an invoice, and details lines superposes of the amount. Is than an issue?? Is there any fix??

Another problem is with vertical words. crviewer converts it to horizontal words.

Thanks.
