crystalreportviewer help needed [vb2005]

Hey all,

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and using the built in Crystal Reports for building reports. I just have a basic question about setting up the crystalreportviewer (crv).

Right now I've included it on a form that has a report that can be printed. So I added the crv and attached the report, the problem is the form is very small so the crv only barely shows up. I thought it would be seperate from the form but it seems to be a child of the form so it must be contained within the form. How do I get around this?

It would be nice if it opened up full size and showed the whole report and I would assume that something like that is built into the crv I just can't seem to find it.

Thanks so much for any help you can offer.

edit: just wanted to add that I built this report in the report designer and then I set the reportsource property of the crv to this report. Also, there is no data on this report it is only a display of text.

edit2: I have one parent form and many child forms. I'm trying to do the report on one of the child forms.

Well the report view cannot be bigger than the form obviously as it is a component of that form. Cant you just make the child form bigger and strech the crviewer out to be larger ?

Also removing the group tree from the default view by making displaygrouptree set to false will give your report more room to be displayed.

ZedEx: Thanks for the tip about the grouptree. Unfortunatly I cannot make the form bigger so I think that I will just send the report to the printer without showing a printpreview.
