Dynamic report

[ashishjain]

I developping a application using VB/Crystal Report. I have to generate dyanamic labels in a report. A single report may contains multiple lables. These labels are like address labels. I have to create these labels dynamically i.e. Everything fonts, fontsize, font color, Label size How many labels should come on a page will be decided by the user. Is there any work around??

Thanx in advance.

CR comes with plenty of standard label setups, I'm not sure how you'd present the options for layout within VB, but try to leverage that, it should simplify life.

you cannot really do this totally dynamically. Rather you can create several label page senarios and let the user select which one they want to use.

This is done through the use of subsections in the detail or footer section (depending on how this is to be done)....each subsection would correspond to a particular label setup and be suppressed or unsuppressed depending on what the user selected.

Of course you would have to have a common database for all label types. Jim Broadbent

This should help:

This speaks of leveraging the label wizard using the RDC.
