CR 8.5 - dynamic columns | howto

[nyseguy]

Hello. I am trying to create a report where the number of columns can vary (ie. could be 3 or 5, etc.) How can this be done?

I am already working on one approach where I created a table with maximum possible columns, and I managed to suppress the columns that contain NULLs on the report. This solves the issue of hiding empty columns, but crystal does not adjust the space used by suppressed columns - I have blank columns now in the report. Can I shift columns with data to replace those that were suppressed using crystal?

Ideas on different approaches or help with the one I am working on are really appreaciated.

Thanks.

I responded to your other thread. There is generally no need to post the same problem in multiple CR forums.

The only reason I posted my question in several forums is to get maximum exposure as only a few people are subscribed to all "Crystal Reports" forums.

BTW, your suggestion with inserting multiple details will not work for me, but thanks anyway.
