Symptom
- Crystal Reports does not have a dedicated Table tool for table creation.
- Tables must be created manually by drawing lines and boxes around report items.
- Such tables often end up with many issues:
- Horizontal lines which don’t meet up with verticals.
- Spacing within rows which is varying.
- Vertical lines that run directly through database fields.
- Inexplicable gaps between lines.
- Vertical and horizontal lines that go missing.
- And more...
