How to set relative position in Crystal Reports

[Former Member]

Hi

We are using CR XI R2 for designing crystal reports and Oracle 9i as datasource.

we have placed 5 columns in vertical position next to one another in details section.

for ex

Salesrevenue

Company description

SalesSummary

as data fetch is dynamic whenver data in 'Sales revenue' is more it is overlapping on 'Company description' column

and so on with 'Sales summary' too.

I know that Relative postion works only when columns are placed in ROW MANNER i.e

Salesrevenue||Company description||SalesSummary but doesn't work when placed in the above manner.

Please let me know if there is any workround or any other option need to be configured to overcome this issue.

Thanks in Advance,

BSR

Right click the report navigator(left of your report body under design mode), and then choose 'insert a new section below', this will insert a new detail section called 'details b', put the 'Company description' into that section and third one into another new detail section.

This will let you avoid the overlap issue.

Thx, Hao
