You mean you use Crystal reports instead of native designer ? If so I know nothing about Crystal reports (never saw yet). Else there are a bunch of tricks (if they could be called trick) to play with report during design and after design. If crystal reports also generate frx (it should I think) you can play with it like any other table (ie:you'll see many threads to cure printer driver setup problem - open frx, blank fields expr, tag, tag2 or never -never is extreme maybe- use alias in fields and report.dataenvironment so you have the flexibilty of using SQL cursors on the fly).
