Remove left side bar in Crystal Web version 1

[Chopstik]

I have a report that is viewed by users on the web. When the report is viewed, there will always only be a single record source of information and I am wondering if there is a way to remove the preview bar that shows up on the left hand side. Has anyone else ever encountered a problem like this? Thanks for any help!

Maybe a little clearer explanation of what I want to do. I want to turn off the Group Tree function so that it won't show when users go to view it. I know they can hide it themselves, but most won't know to do it and this was a request from the manager, so figured I would look into it...

Hi. Hope this doesn't come too late to be of help to you. As I understand it, with Crystal Reports open to the report you want to remove the Group Tree from, click on the Menu Bar... then click on "File", "Report Options", and in the dialog box that pops up, click on the checkbox labeled "Create Group Tree" to remove the checkmark. To make it effective, "Save", close, and reopen the report and the Group Tree should be gone, with the button grayed out that allows the Group Tree to be opened.

Note: This only takes care of the particular report you have open and active when you remove the checkmark. To change the Group Tree Default to "inactive" for any New reports, you need to click on the Menu Bar... then click on "File", and "Options" (not Report Options). In the dialog box that pops up, click on the checkbox labeled "Create Group Tree" to remove the checkmark. Any changes made in this "Options" dialog box affects every new report that is created after the change in "Options" is made. But existing reports will have to be changed as outlined above for the individual report.

Thanks, Scriv. It's not too late (since testing for the application was put off another two weeks) and does exactly what I need! A star for you!

You can also do it via code using reportobject.EnableGroupTree = False
