Crystal Reports

Ok, I'm trying to display a Crystal Report using the Crystal Report viewer component. When it diplays on the page however, I get this huge margin on the left (several inches). Anybody have this happen to them before and know how I can fix it?

Sean look at the properties for the CrystalReportsViewer control and set the show TreeView to False. That should get rid of that margin for you.

Thank you....

...also, the images that come with Crystal Reports like >> and << are all coming up as red Xs....weird...

Not sure about that one. Although I have been working with Crystal Reports for a year now I just started working with it for web forms a couple of days ago. So far I have pretty mixed feelings about it. I received MS SQL Server Reporting services a while back and was thinking about giving it a try this weekend.

Check out the properties of where those images should be. The install creates a virtual directory named CrystalReportsViewer (or something like that), on my machine, it points to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Crystal Reports\Viewers\. There's an images folder under there, so you can replace, for example, the Crystal logo with your own custom one.

Thanks for the input guys....new to ASP.NET and Crystal. Is there a way I can modify field data in the report? For example, I have a priority field that is Low/Medium/High but I'm storing the data as a byte (0, 1 or 2). When I generate the report, i want to convert my number into the appropriate string. Thanks for your help.

I've setup my report to be landscape, but the footer is still printing as if it was letter. Does anybody know a way to fix this? Thanks.
