Trying to set height of subreport

[JRBeltman]

Hi,
I am trying to set the height of a subreport by using a formula in the report header or page header.

I have no idea how to do this,
but need it, cause every time I open the report the subreport height seems to be reset to something like 0.1 instead of the 0.04 I set. No idea how this happens.... Grow etc are off.

I am using Crystal 8.5

Hope someone can help

Are you using format->object size and position to do this? I don't think it's possible to get the subreport height lower than .09. At least it appears to revert to that after attempting to make it smaller.

Top of my head:
I right click the subreport, select 'object size & position' and set the height to .04

It works in like 10 reports and I have read many posts that tell me .04 is the absolute minimum....

But for some bizarre reason it doesnt stick in this report.

I obviously do this because my subreport gets values that are used in the next group footer for totals.... usual story...

Anyway. I hoped to be clever and make the sub report resize when I run the report I can set it really small then and wouldnt worry about the saving of the report

Okay, I just figured out that if you retain the subreport border, the minimal height you can get is .09, but if you remove the border, you can save it at .04.
