I am trying to see if it is possible with the programming interface to Crystal Report to customize the data definition of the report to hide certain fields
from certain users, based on their access rights to such fields. Specifically,
if the user does not have the right to access a field of a table, and that
field appears in an expression to be presented on the report, the requirement would be to show a blank field instead. On the other hand, if a field that is to be hidden from a user appears in the condition or the join part of a data definition for the report, the report is not to present any data.

Is this kind of a thing possible to do by modifying the data definition for a
report dynamically? Is it documented which parts of the report object model are settable and which part not?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Thanks for the reply. It is great to know that Crystal Reports makes this possible. Do you know if there is sample code from your book or other resources that does something similar?

Thanks.
