  I am working on a project to migrate reports from an old VB6 application using ActiveReports2 to ActiveReports 12 in .Net. In ActiveReports2, there was a “Frame” control that could be placed on the report in the designer that other controls could be placed into, so they could all be treated as a group. I don’t see any equivalent control in ActiveReports 12. Is there a similar control, or some other method to accomplish the same functionality?

  Hi Ed,

  As ActiveReports 2 is a very, very old product, we don’t have much knowledge about it, but based on your description about the “Frame” control that you provided, it seems that you are looking for the Cross Section controls in Section Reports or Container control in Page Reports. You may read more about them here:

  We hope this helps!
