In exporting a report to Excel I get a blank row between each record. The detail section of the report is as small as it can go, so there isn't any blank space between records on the report when you view it in CR. Is there a setting to get rid of those blank sections in Version 8?
 
What I have done in the past is to supress any section you are not really using - page header and footer, report footers, etc. Do you have any sections like that with no or insignificant data in it that you can suppress?

This also depends on how you export to Excel, for example, do you export to Excel Extended?
 
I've tried differnt versions of Excel, but have not tried the extended. Would that work?
 
What version of CR are you using? I had that problem years ago and when I sat down to troubleshoot the problem, it mysteriously went away. I could never replicate it.

One thing I did when I was desperate, was I exported to Lotus 1-2-3, the old WKS format, and then opened that with Excel. Formatting is gone, but there weren't any spaces. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
