How to "delink" Field Heading from Field

[JonAtHQ]

On my computer, when I add a field to a report, I can simply delete the cooresponding Field Heading that is inserted above it (if I don't want it to displayed). However, on a colleague's computer, whenever he adds a field, the Field Header is added, and it's locked to the field. That is, if he tries to delete or move the Field Header, then the field moves or is deleted, too. Can you let me know of a way to "delink" the two.

And BTW ... no, the field are not combined via a lasso.

Thanks,

I suspect that you may have a different SP level on your Crystal than your colleague. To be certain, go to Help/About Crystal Reports and check the version numbers. If they are different, see if you can get his copy patched to the latest version.

You could also open Crystal and go to the File Menu and Options. On the Layout tab turn off "Insert Detail Field Headings". This will completely turn off the process to add the field heading with the field. Since you are deleting the column headings above the fields and you'll need to create them manually. This is the way I always configure Crystal because 99% of the time I use something other than the field name for the heading.

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.
