How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention.  This is so some program functionality will work for the new box.  I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

  • How to limit the no of records per page in crystal reports 2008

    I have to limit the number of records =10 per page in crystal reports 2008.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    1. Open the report in Design View
    2. Right click on the Details section and select Section Expert
    3. Make sure the Details section is selected in the Section Expert dialog box. goto paging tab
    Check the box that says u201CNew Page Afteru201D
    4. Click the formula editor button to the right of the checkbox.
    5. Enter the following formula
    if Remainder (RecordNumber, 10) = 0 then true else false
    6. Click Save and Close and then click OK.
    If you run the report it should break after each 10 rows.

  • How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

    How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
    I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
    It's possible?

    Hi,
    an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
    First create block and add items
    The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
    Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
    At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
    in this way you can change the source of column value.
    Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
    May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
    bye

    Will someone please tell me how to change the name of a folder I created in "Pages" and saved to the "Cloud"? Thanks.

    Go to the open dialog in Pages and select iCloud.
    Click on the folder that you created on iCloud to open the folder.
    On the lower half of the window (the open folder) click on the name of the folder.
    Once you click and select the folder's name it should be editable.

    Our Apple ID is ok and functioning.  However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.

    Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.

  • Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express

    Can anyone tell me how to change the names of the networks I have set up on Airport Express please? I now work in a UN compound and my network is my own name, would prefer some anonymity so seeking to change the wifi network name that others might see.

    Hi mkl1961,
    Happy Holidays!  The article below will explain how to reset your Airport Express and change the network and base station names back to their defaults.  
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3728
    What default settings will my AirPort base station have after a hard or factory default reset?
    AirPort base stations are set to request an IP address by DHCP.
    AirPort base station passwords are "public."
    AirPort base station names revert to "base station xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    AirPort base station network names are "Apple Network xxxxxx," where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the wireless MAC address*.
    *A MAC (Media Access Control) address, also known as a "network ID," is a unique hardware identification number for a network port.  You can find the wireless and Ethernet network IDs on the printed label on the bottom or side of the device.

  • How to refractor the name of a View Object ?

    I dont see how to change the name of view. It was refractor in the prior version.

    The same operation is used in 11g to rename a VO and works as expected in the most current internal builds.

  • How to change the name of a clone?

    I cloned in order to upgrade to Tiger.
    How do I change the name of the clone?
    I was told this: change the computer's name from the Sharing pane of System Preferences.
    I went into the hard drive with the clone, opened system folder>library>preferencepane folder, clicked on sharingpref.pref pane and got a message saying "you cannot install the preferences pane folder because it already exists"
    What stupid thing have I done?
    Thanks!

    What stupid thing have I done?Probably nothing, but what exactly do you want to rename? The "clone", which is a disk volume, or the "computer name"? And if the latter, why?
    I have several volumes which are "clones" and they are named "OSX48", "OSX39" etc so I know which is which (my main system boot volume is just plain "OSX_4"). But at no time did I need to change my computer's name.
    You change the volume name the same way you change a folder or file name: click on the name until it becomes an editable box, and type your new name.

  • How to Change the Name of an iPhone

    So I bought a new 3G phone and gave the old one to my wife who has expressed no desire to have one, and in the 24 she's had in is clearly smitten.
    I've transferred everything from the old phone to the new, set hers up and all is well except one thing.
    When I had the 1st gen phone its name was 'Steve's iPhone' and now my new one is called that as well. What I can't see how to do is to re-name the old one to her name.
    There's got to be something hidden in some menu on the phone or iTunes. How do I do it?

    When you plug in your iPhone, just click on where it says "Steve's iPhone". A text box should appear and you can change the name that way. It's the same as changing the info of a song in iTunes without bringing up a preferences menu.

    How do I change the name of my Mac book?

    Ahh I see what you mean now. I don't have the computer box ticked in my finder preferences and so the name doesn't show up. If this annoys you so much just go to preferences/sidebar and deselect computer. Then it's not there anymore.
    I'll have a look at the name change option for you.

  • Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

    Hi everybody,
    I am a professional translator.
    One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
    I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
    I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
    Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
    Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
    Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
    Thanks for your help.

    ... book file ...
    ...  each file separately, I gave  them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) ...
    I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
    If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
    In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.
