When i display a report to a user, they are able to click on the fields on the report. this highlights them and turns them blue. Does anybody know how to disable this? I was looking for a read only or a enabled property but no such luck.
Using vb.net 2010 and the built in version of Crystal 13.0.2
here is an example what the text field looks like when the user clicks on it

How to disable navigation to the sub-report when clicked on it? I have report with 1 sub-report that displays Company information and I need to disable it once it has been clicked by Customer.
it can be disable from crystal report viewer control.Use
CrystalReportViewer1.EnableDrillDown = False
this will work for crystal report 2008 or above.
Edits:
AS per comments by Question owner,in order to disable just navigation.there is no defined way.but it can be achieved by some other means.
"Create an empty text cell that is as wide as the report, and use it to "cover" the clickable fields to prevent drilldown.
Seriously, this is the only way we've found to do this. This is also documented on the BusObj support knowledge base (http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2013204.asp)"

I am doing a project using vb.net and sql server. I want to know how to create crystal report dynamically,i.e, when the user press the "Create report" button a form has to display where he can drag and drop the fields whichever he wants to display and save the report for future use
is not clear, you want a crystal report designer like the one in visual studio?
if so, you can check http://www.brothersoft.com/crystal-reports-download-79905.html

I have a In-Browser Form I published to SharePoint 2010 via Infopath and have a section in the beginning which pulls the current user data to get their Name, Email, Number, etc. The issue is once a user submits the form and I take a look with the In-Browser feature in SharePoint, the information changes to my info instead of the submitter. However, when I open in the form via Infopath application, it shows the originial submitters info. Is there a way or an option I'm not aware of which will fix this issue?
Found the answer. On the text boxes that pulls the user info, go to the Text Box Properties and under Default Value, deselect the checkbox "Refresh value when formula is recalculated".
Is it possible to hide a field in a SQL 2008 Report, based on the value of a parameter? I'm leaning towards a custom application and if push comes to shove I'll have do manually code each piece, but I would like to leverage SSRS as much as possible. I've included a screen shot of the report before it is populated. The area in red is what I would like to hide say, =iif(X=1,true,false)
Set up the Expression In Text box Property >> Visibility >> Show or Hide on axpression.
=iif(X=1,true,false)
Hope this help..
Look for the screen shot and more detail click here
using SSRS manager, Parameter field cannot hide programtically. but you can create asp.net webform with SSRS report. MSDN link
Am writing a VB.Net app written in VS2010. This displays some reports in several forms. (Am using Crystal Reports though this is incidental to the problem). The user needs to be able to check these, then confirm if he wishes to run the update process or abort.
My first idea was to ask the user to reply using a messagebox. But of course this is modal, so the user cannot browse through the reports.
I thought of other options but each seems to have problems:
- export the reports as PDFs, then display report in external Adobe Reader Window using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("AcroRd32.exe", filename). This seems messy.
- create a non-modal message box or equivalent. This loses any concept of program flow, so am unconvinced by this
What ideas do you have please?
You should already be using a form to display the report(s). Put all the reports on the same form with scroll bars enabled and add a button to that form for the user to 'Update Process'.
You may come up with a better display based on how many reports you want the user to look at - like a drop down at the top with list of reports in it OR a radio button list on the left with reports listed etc.
