How to insert an image into a report?
I wanted to create a grouped report, showing Companies and related contact persons. Unfortunately, the database contains several Companies with the same name, but with different departments, sites, etc. Starting from your 'simple' example report, I changed the group to contain everything that makes a company record unique (name, city, department, site). I do get the correct report, but I am not able to navigate by means of the bookmarks. I now have a working alternative, using "Company Name (ID)" in both bookmark and group title, and site/department/city in the header region. But it doesn't look that pretty. Are there other (and nicer) solutions to have company names in the bookmark and still be able to show the right information?
I have a .NET web app which uses Crystal Reports to render the reports. It is my understanding that there is a 5 concurrent user limit which poses a big problem as we may have more than 5 users at a time trying to render a report. Is there a concurrent user limitation with Report Sharp Shooter?
Can a single report have several sub-reports?

I finally bought the Sharp Shooter v3.0 Lite. I uninstalled the free one, and reinstalled the new one. It’s giving be the following error: 'Reporting' is not a member of 'PerpetuumSoft'. And because of this everything else having to do with the Reporting object is broken. Does it have to do with the fact that the license I downloaded (even the Lite) shows Express version when using Licensing Manager? How can I fix this?

How do I dynamically change Textbox's size and location?
Is there an easy possibility to put 'check marks' on the report according to database true/false values; What should be the correct syntax to use null values; I tried to use this Iif(len(GetData("Contacten.EmailAdres"))>0,"J","N") to simulate a check mark Yes/No, but, unfortunately, the database contains both empty strings and dbnull values. During rendering the report I get several errors.
I use the ternary operator, i.e. databand1[“name”] != System.DBNull.Value ? “is not null” : “is null”; But what if I use the classical construct of if / else. If(databand1[“name”] == System.DBNull.Value) “is null” else “is not null” The strings fly around, I guess I need to reference the Value field in some way.
I haven't been able to use charting. I don't know what I am doing wrong; I always get only the data that is placed in during the design of the report, never the data from the database. Could you place a simple sample report with an XML database datasource on the net?
I have a report that displayed data with the help of DataBand and everything was all right. But after I added the Header element, the report is not displayed correctly.

How can I get real coordinates of the textbox element on the page? If I use textbox.PageLocation, I get static vector, i.e. X and Y from a template… I need coordinates from the pages of final documents.
I display my data in report with the use of DataBand; displayed fields take small part of the page in width, but there are a lot of records. How can I display them in more compact manner, for example, to display them in several columns?
Is it possible to change the default properties of the components? The thing is that the TextBox component has a "center" alignment, and in 99.9% of the cases, I need the text to be left justified. That means that I have to change the property on ALL textboxes. I can do that, but it would be easier if I could just change the default value...

Is it correct that I should only unsubscribe from this event?
When I build my project, ALL PerpetuumSoft dll's are copied to the output folder - even the ones that are not referenced in the project (such as chart and instrumentation - seeing that I haven't got a license for them, and don't need them either). I simply cannot understand it.

Or is it necessary to design the size of the textBox to fit the string?
