Hi I have a watermark setup that repeats a text label (draft) for each line in the details section of the report. This works ok but was wondering if there is any way to display a large water mark stating draft over several rows of the detailed section instead of the text label being repeated at each detail row. I currently have a detail section a and detail section b with the data in section b and the water mark in section a anc underlay following sections enabled in the section expert, using vs2005, crystal 10.
Thanks.
 
espltd,

Make a Page Header B, put your watermark there and make it very large.

Go into the section expert for this section and check the box: Underlay Following Sections

thanks for the quick response, seems like it looks good now!
 
Just wondering if you know if there is a way to rotate the text in the water mark, 45degrees would do it?
thanks.
 
I think you can only rotate 90 or 270 degrees. See the format text->common tab.

thanks for the additional information. Ended up creating an image with photoshop with the desired text and angle and then placed the image on the report.
