Setting an element in an exact position in Crystal Reports is like coding on a smartphone. It just won't do what I want.

@mpotratz Yup, I couldn't agree more :) Same thing happened here. Broken it is. The report ended up a mess. Kicked the bucket. Gone west. In the long run I would also like to have all our Crystal Reports rewritten. I have a colleague who, for some unexplanatory reason, likes Crystal Report. I'm happily leaving this for him to fix on Monday. Man, I used to think that Telerik Reporting s*cked, but in comparison to Crystal Reports, I love Telerik Reporting.
