Hi all,

I have just finished my report and uploaded then to the http://tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1657712&page=1#">web server , but the parameters are scattered all over the place.

I'm using crystal reports with visual studio 2008, I also compare with CR10 (of course they give thesame result).

The order of the parameter fields are displayed dont really matter, what matters is that they render on my browser (and they currently do).

However, when the parameters finish rendering they render on their own accord. I want to be able to determine the position of each parameter on the screen, the color of the input boxes, the height and width of the input boxes, etc. (Just like using CSS with HTML)....I wish I could attact a screen shot, so you'd understand me better.
Basically, how can I get the parameter fields to render in determined positions on screen?
Thanks.

if you are using the Crystal Reports parameter page, I don't think that you have any control over the where.
 
while we don't use a web browser for our reports, we use our own parameter input wizards...which is truly the only way that I know of getting the parameters to display as you want them...build them yourself.
 
I realize, not much help, just something to think about for the future.
