Error description

  • This is an upgrade issue from CRN MR2 414.64 to C8 8.4 GA.?When
    we run a list report that contains a conditional block inside a
    conditional block on C8 8.4, the layout is collapsed in Excel
    2002.??Reproduced:?Excel 2002 format or Excel 2000 single sheet
    format on C8 8.4 GA, C8.4.1 FP1.??Not Reproduced:?Excel 2000,
    2002 on CRN MR2(414.64)?Excel 2007 format on C8 8.4 GA, C8.4.1
    FP1.???
    

Local fix

  • Set  'Box Type' properties of inner 'Conditional  Block'  from '
    Default' to 'Inline'.
    
    Note:
    If the report spec is quite complicated, this work around might
    cause some layout change for Excel 2007 users.
