Preview Tab

  • Article

The Preview tab displays a read-only version of the Crystal report (.rpt file), through use of the ActiveX report viewer. The report cannot be modified in the preview window.

The current report is displayed with its default data. If there is a database logon failure or if the report uses report off application data (for example, DataSets or object collections), then the data is temporarily generated.

Note

The Preview tab is not available in the embedded Crystal Reports Designer for Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003.

The Preview tab can be found at the bottom of the embedded Crystal Reports Designer, with the name, "Main Report Preview." For more information see, Design Time Preview.
