programatically move report fields 1

[moabiker31]

Is there a way to programatically move report fields? Our vb.net 2005 application outputs labels. Some customers want firstname, lastname, addr1,... Some customers want lastname, firstname, addr1,... So I would like to be able to move them programatically and possibly hide certain fields if the customer chooses not to have it displayed.

There are a few ways you might approach this, a simple one would be to have a parameter with the choices, adn then rather than palce database fields in the report, use formulas which use an IF THEN structure to determine what is placed where. The advantage to this is that it's all done within Crystal relatively easily.

Here are the sample apps:
