Group Header 2 section not auto-fitting

Former Member — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 21:50:39 GMT

I'm having issues with my group header 2 section auto-fitting to the size of the crosstab table in that section. It appears that crystal is making all GH2 sections the same size (based on the group with the largest table). I've tried the auto-fit option and have made the margins tight between sections. I would like each GH2 section to be tight to the next GH2 section (eliminating white space in between groups). Any help is appreciated.

Hi Amanda,

This is very strange. Would you be able to attach the report with saved data please?

I've tried everything I can to replicate the behaviour however, for me it fits the sections correctly.

To attach the report, change its extension from .rpt to .txt and click the 'use advanced editor' link in the reply window.

Hi,

Is there Fix Height Set for the section GH2 (this could be minimum height) .

Because in image it looks like that is atleast 1.5 - 1.7 inch & all have same height .

The image is of Crystal Report for Enterprise .

Hi Amanda,

As Abhilash said, it looks very strange. It is working perfectly at my end also.

May be you would have placed a drawing object --line / text object / some table object at the end of GH2.

Can you go in View menu--Report Explorer and expand GH2 and remove objects which you don't need in that section.

The report does not have saved data. Can't do much unfortunately.

Well, I have no clue what's causing the blank space.

Have you tried recreating the report? I find something fishy with the Details Section; it wouldn't let me resize.

Well at least I'm not the only one stumped! Thanks for taking a look. I'll recreate from the beginning and see if I have the same problem.
