Format Section

[hgg21]

Hi,

In the format section option,
in the details section, there is an option,

Hide(Drill down OK), may I know what's the use of
this option? How do I make the details to be
hidden but can be drilled down by clicking
on it??

You asked: <<How do I make the details to be
hidden but can be drilled down by clicking

This is the purpose of the Hide option. It will supress the details, until you double-click on a group, then it will show the details for that group.

Hi Chris,

Hi,

also the hidden effect is gone when I export the report to html file.

Cant see the details anymore.

Does anyone know how to create a drill-down report that can drill the details on the same page and then make it still works when exported to html format.

Thanks
Jerry

I wish I had better news for you. The drill-down funtionality is not available in format which don't natively support drill-down. In other words, if you export to MS Word, you loose the info which has been hidden, because Word does not support drilldown. I don't know of any export format which does, except Crystal Reports format.

As far as seeing the details on the same page, I assume you are referring to the &quot;tab&quot; that is created to display the drilldown contents? If so, then no. That is how Crystal is built. Now, with a little imagination, you can format your drilldown sections to show your headers, footers, etc so it looks more like the normal page.

I hope this clears it up a little for you. Chris
