I am new to Crystal. I have a 2003 .net C++ application that uses Crystal reports - never had to change the reports since assuming project.

 

I open the report (.rpt file) in the Visual Studio report designer and go to the fild I want to change. In the properties box, I am unable to change the properties of the field. grayed out section. When I click something different in the drop down, it stays the same as original setting.

 

Is there an overall report format menu that allows me to change form attributes. I saw something on-line about a format editor, and there is a read-only check box. But how do I get to that in Visual Studio .net??

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

 

Of course, as soon as I entered the note, it came clear.

 

Thank you.
