Possible to control hyperlink feature of CR 8.0 ?

[daveteddy]

I've integrated my Crystal Report 8.0 with ASP. Some of the fields require to have hyperlinks, so that users can click these links accordingly.

However, I realized that every link that's embedded in the Crystal Report will pop-up another a new window. Having said that, the more frequent u click on the hyperlinks, the more windows will appear.


I wonder whether there's any workaround method to manipulate the hyperlink feature to control unnecessary pop-up windows

Very good question. I don't believe there is in CR, maybe if you used Crystal and VB with the RDC this would be doable.

Ken, to illustrate my point -> 'Unnecessary' windows, do consider the scenario below :-


Everytime, when users try to click on the embedded hyperlinks on the CR, it'll automatically pop-up another new window.

In this case, users will have to navigate to diff windows in order to view their links.

I guess, it'd be more user friendly if it allows us to embed some JavaScripts/Vbscripts, so that the clickable hyperlinks will navigate within the same window instead of pop-up another 'unnecessary' window whenever these links are clicked.

I wonder whether there's any work around (ASP ) ?
Thanks
'unnecessary' windows basically refer
