	Hi, I am using crystal report in VS 2005. We have one report where we need to have 180 sections. When we check the preview of that report it is showing the output. But when we run within the application, it throws exception as "Load report failed" and "Invalid Section" Waiting for ur valuable solution, thanks.

	I don't know about the error, but there is a part of me that says 180 sections is too many and that there has to be a better way of organizing your data. Good luck.

	as a follow up, how is that broken up? Could you reduce sections if you made the data displayed in a group/section conditional on a formula? then you could have the same layout and just change the value in the cell based on a formula. Is that 180 section 180 group headers or 180 detail lines? Do they all display at the same time? Sorry, I am just stunned that any report would need that many sections.

	Hi, Actually accourding to requirement we may have to show the all 180 fields on report but we also need to hide the field and it's value if it doesn't have valid value. So to avoid the blank space created after suppress, we have created separate section for each field and it's value. We are suppressing the section on the basis of field value. If you have any other solution for this situation, do write your solution. Thanks for your help.
