Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 - Report formatting issues in viewer (extra space)

329 Views

Hello,

We have a Windows Form application developed in VS 2010 using the Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 runtime. We are having issue with extra spaces in text objects. For example: in a report header we have an object that has text similar to this:

This report will print a list of all Serial Numbers in the Serial Table that are missing related Serial Meter records.

When we run it within Crystal 2008 Designer, it looks great; however, when we run it from the Windows Viewer we developed, it looks like this:

This report will print a list of all Serial Numbers in the Serial Table that are missing related Serial Meter records .

The viewer places extra spaces between records and the period (.). We also noticed it places spaces in phone numbers:

952 -555-555

There's an extra space between the 2 and the dash (-).

One thing we noticed is, if you change the viewer zoom to 98%, then the extra spacing goes away.

We just upgraded to SP1 for Crystal 2008 for VS 2010 and still the same issue. We are referencing these DLLS: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, CrystalDecisions.Shared, and CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms all version are 13.0.2000.0.

Any help would be great.

Thank you,

Tyler
