Writing 14 versions of report in one main crystal report

Question

I am new to working with crystal reports. I would like to know way(s) to  write 14 similar detail reports.
  I will be passing parameters from a vb.net windows application to a crystal report that will have 14 detail reports that are similar but the columns may be different based upon the selection category passed by the parameters.  Each version of the detail reports will be similar but vary depending upon the category that is selected.  The parameters past by the vb.net program to the crystal report will tell the crystal report what version of the report needs to display the data.
  The reports will only one one major selection criteria on them. These reports will be emailed out to each user user the request the detail infomation.
  Thus is there a way with crystal reports to have the reports similar but different based upon one major selction criteria? This would be similar to using cascading styles sheets on the web or writing a .net method that has the same name, but different parameters that can be passed to the 'methods' in .net.
   Thanks!

Answer 1

I recommend posting this to the Report Design forum. To start off, you want to make the report to work in the CR designer. Once it is working there, you can move on to .NET development.
BTW., see the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement]
Step 2 Asking Your Question; Provide Enough Information
You may want to start with version of CR you are using, database you are using, DB connection type used, CR patch level and eventually, when the time comes, the version of .NET used.
