Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 V 13.0.4 SP4
VS 2010 Profesional SP1
This is my first time working with CR. I have a report that may have two optional lines in a section. To supress the blank lines I saw in help and all over the Internet that you follow these steps.
- Right click the field of interest and select Format object.
- On the common tab check the box next to
Suppress Embedded Field Blank Lines.
Seems easy, but I don’t have that as an option.
I see Supress and Suppress If Duplicated. There looks to be enough space below the second to hold my desired option. I’ve tried other fields and other reports still MIA.
Oddly enough I found no other posts anywhere with this issue.
I too came across this problem and discovered this workaround (Using CR XI R2)
1) Right click the section on which you have blank fields to suppress and click “Section Expert”
2) Check “Suppress (No Drill-Down)” and click on the Small Icon next to it to open the Formula Editor.
3) Type the following code
if {Condition resulting in a blank record} then true else false
4) Click “Save and Close” and Click OK.
