Did you save the report with preview open then close Crystal.<br />

1. Hi,<br />
<br />
My design mode looks like preview that is all white. &nbsp;What has happened here. &nbsp;I am in the middle of creating a new report and this annoying. &nbsp;I will go to Crystal Business objects to do some research. &nbsp;In the meanwhile, &nbsp;does anyone have a suggestion?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

My design mode looks like preview that is all white.  What has happened here.  I am in the middle of creating a new report and this annoying.  I will go to Crystal Business objects to do some research.  In the meanwhile,  does anyone have a suggestion?

Crystal Reports V9.0-Why does design mode looks like preview mode?

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
