Hi there. i have a very complex crosstab that has been used for a while and need to rotate it so that it fits on a landscape document, instead of portrait. yet i cannot seem to get the crossrzb expert to come on once the item has been created, only during crestion. can anyone help please?

Thanks dblank i have tried this in both design and preview~nothing at all. is it possible this only works when you are creating the table in the first instsnce? Not once it has been used? even the option in "format" is greyed out.

Hi
 
When you place the mouse pointer left top corner are you able to see Cross Tab as tool tip or is it showing Text Box ?
 
 
Some times developers may place cross tab into a text box to avoid editing.
 
 
Thanks,
Sastry

Hi
 
Go in View menu -- Report Explorer-- now you will see the object types which are placed in that secion.
 
Select Text box from Report Explorer and try to delete it.  Once you delete you can access cross tab.
 
Note : take a backup of your report before doing the above.
Thanks,
Sastry

Sastry thanks for your time with this. i am in the uk so was shooting from the hip last night. i have solved the problem. some designer has compiked a grid and populated the cells, instead of building a crosstab- so it looks like a crosstab but is just a group of equations put next to eachother!!!!

Thanks again. paul
