Crystal Newbie: Help with DrillDownGroupLevel 1

[Stevehewitt]

Hi Guys,

I'm really new to Crystal, so please bare with me.

I'm trying get Crystal to 'unhide' some group headers after the users drill's down a level. I've done some digging and I think that I may need to use DrillDownGroupLevel; however I am not at all familiar with Crystal code. (Primiarlly an Access developer).

Any help about where to place the code (section expert?) and the syntax would be very helpful!

Oh - and I am using Crystal 10.

Cheers,



Steve.

Yes, in the Section Expert for the relevant group header section, click the X+2 button next to "Suppress". Then enter a very simple conditional statement:

DrillDownGroupLevel = 0

This will ensure that the section is suppressed until its group has been drilled into.

Thanks for that Duncan.

After playing with it, I've realised the mistake that I've made - I don't need to supress the group header - but instead unsupress a number of fields in the group header section when the drill down is started.

Any more advice again appreciated!

Cheers,



Steve.

Then you just need to apply that same syntax to each individual object rather than to the group. The Suppress option is on the Common tab of the Format Field dialog.
