I have a requirement to have a report drill down to detail data with a "+" sign within the same window. So instead of drilling like Crystal does, in a new window, I need to just expand to show the detail right below the summary info.

+ Group line
- Group line
Detail line
Detail line
+ Group line
- Group line
Detail line

The +/- would be interactive, with the user clicking on it to expand/collapse the subsuquent detail section.

Any suggestions?

This is something that Reporting Services does. I need help, I don't want to go to RS.

Crystal doesn't provide in-place drill-down, so you would need to program this on your own or use a 3rd-party Crystal Reports viewer that can do this. For a list of 3rd-party viewers, see

Thank you, Ido.

My company doesn't really have a place for third party viewers in our development. I'm sure your viewer is great, just not what fits for us. It's encouraging to know that in-place drilling is possible thru code on the viewer.

I am thinking that catching the click event on the viewer, and checking for a specific name of a formula, ie button, then grabbing it's section and expanding the next section down. I know it can't be that easy, but am I on the right track?
