>Using Crystal Reports is like reaching around your Butt to get to your elbow. Ver. 8 is Buggy. Align won’t, most of the time, but Align will resize. Resize won’t, most of the time, but resize will move things. Charts move within their container when you save the form. I have found no way of changing a data field reference, other than delete it then add the new one. Drop a data field on the report then put a border on it, do this several time, with the same field. Borders will come out different sizes. They say they are the same size; they look the same size, in design time. View or print and low and behold one or two of them will be just a hair or two off. You don’t have enough resolution to change the width of the offending field to the correct amount. Cut and Paste work really weird. I have yet to figure out how, when you have multiple objects to paste, how it decides where to start. You hit paste; you get ONE box where your cursor is on the report. You click, sometimes it goes up
>from where you are, and sometimes it goes down. When you select lots of stuff to move, it does not move them all at the same time, looks sort of like the little train that could. First object pulls the next object; just don’t click before everything stops.

Hey Jeff,

I agree, some of this stuff could behave a bit better. However, much of what you are talking about has worked this way for several versions. Therefore, I chalked it up as quirks rather than bugs. As you said...things you learn to live with.
