BTW, I've tried before to delete programmatically a group from a report (opened with RDC's OpenReport() method) but it gave me an error message telling me that I need to have an additional license to do that. I use "Crystal Reports 9 Advanced" Does the same occur with newer versions of Crystal Reports? I would like to know if there is a way to do that kind of things programmatically on newer versions of Crystal Reports. And well, as I couldn't delete that group programatically I had to create one report for a distinct layout of groups, in spite if the fact that the data on the reports is the same but just with different levels of groups.

I hope you can help me clarify this..

TIA,

Luis
