Huh? What method is that? O... I see, it's in the API docs... Writing code using API docs is fine if you already know the product, but you really should read chapter 7 about ColumnText. Clearing the content of a column is done like this: column.setContent(null); > which, from my understanding, remove the extra data that was left out due > to the lack of space.

It's not because I've finally thrown away the old tutorial, that you shouldn't read the other documentation ;-) > Am I not understanding something correctly or is there a bug here?

The Javadoc info should be updated. Use setText(null); and you'll have an empty column. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
