Is it possible to rename a report section in a crystal reports using the version of crystal that is built into Visual Studio 2008?
If so how can this be done.
A:
There are several ways to interpret your question. If you mean "Given a report grouped by a field called 'L1grp', how do I rename one of those groups?" then create a new formula:
If {L1grp} = "Lisa Simpson" then "Bart Simpson" else {L1grp}
Change your level 1 Grouping from L1grp to this new formula.
I've only used the standalone CR XI Developer, but I don't see why this wouldn't work.

I mean the report sections that show in the designer as grey bars. For example the section 'details' or ' page header', if you create more they change to details a, details b etc... is there any way to rename that.I'm not asking about grouping.

This was actually simple, and I had just overlooked it.
If you select a section and open the properties pane there is the property (name).
Changing this updates the name on the designer.
