I've tried to edit an existing report in Crystal Reports, and I've mucked it up beyond repair. I'm trying to create a one page plan specs report in portrait format.
Has anyone else tried to create such an animal?

This was the landscape version I posted months ago.
You could always edit it

Here's a portrait version I use.

Well bless your sweet little heart! Looks like you took my landscape one and moved the fields around.
I later added 'forfeitures' so I ended up with a 3 by 3 effect.
"Cosmetically pleasing" so to speak.
My only suggestion would be to move the top-heavy info down a little bit so it lines up with the 'Dates' info. It will balance out the look a little better. Otherwise looks pretty good!
(I am guessing this is a Relius 8 version, so some of the fields might not work at 7. This is based on the fact one of the fields says
PLANSTAT.Z80USERALPHA1, which I believe means
'z80' no longer works at 8.0.
Interesting, I heard they moved the fields to a differeny table!

The field used to be Planstat.useralpha1 and they added the z80. Yes, it is an 8.0 report.
Also, our company enters plan name in plan specs a little differently than most. We just put in the 2nd half of the name and combine it with employer name on reports so you might have to adjust the plan name a little.

Rosemary:
I believe the 'z80' is a code that basically tells you that field has been put to sleep 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' and no longer works. I heard tell that the user fields are now in a different table, and therefore you will have to edit the report to continue pulling them, but since I am not at 8.0 I don't know its name.
Not sure what will happen if you try and run the report if you are at 7. I get an error message about invalid columns, but the report does eventually show on the screen.
I believe Relius changed the tables because they didn't think I have enough work to do. : )
