Crystal Report - Grouping and Page Width

Below is an example of using "Group" feaure of Crystal Report Wizard. The example show that the first two fields are related to the group while remained fields are related to each record of the group.

However, this kind of grouping is done in client station instead of Server (based on Query result of SQL command), and will have performance issue if there are a large number of records.




According to user manual of Crystal Report 2008, chapter 6, it is possible to change width of a page (in function "Page Setup") so that information of large number of fields can be displayed properly. However, seems this feature is missing in the build-in Crystal Report tools of Visual Studio 2008.
