2 Crystal Report problem

[Jason Huang]

Hi,

In my C# windows form project,we are using the the Crystal Report boundled
with the VS2003. We have encountered 2 problems.

1. I would like to have a report which looks like an Excel spreadsheet,
namely even I have only 3 rows of data in the report, that report will still
shows up other 17 rows of grid.

2. Is it possible to open a report without using the CrystalReportViewer
embedded in a C# form?

Please give me some advice.
Thanks for help.

I don't think you can do this. Why you need this anyway?

Not really, the only control that knows how to display a report is ; well
the CRW :)

You can export the report to other format without the CRW, but that's
another different thing.
