Group Page Count

[mdwg2020]

Here it is, I am printing a report that has grouping in it. I force the report to print a new page when it is time to change groups. What I would like to do is modigy my headings on any page for a group that is not the first page. For instance, if I am looking at the first page for a specific group, it should have detailed headings, however, the subsequent pages for that group doesn't have to have all of the headings that are available. If I knew how to count pages, and have that count reset per group, I could simply suppress the headings when GroupPageCount > 1. Does anyone know how this can be done?

Do you have the option of resetting the pagenumber on change of group? If so, then you could you simply use:

pagenumber <> 1

...to suppress page header sections you don't want to appear on subsequent pages.

No, I actually don't see a way to do that, but you would think that you would have the capability. I thought I would be able to manage a page special field, similar to running total fields but no. I also don't know if I can manually count them with some sort of function. Maybe someone else knows!

Use group headers a & b (GH1a & GH1b) and control which one is visible and which one is suppressed using the InRepeatedGroupHeader or (NOT InRepeatedGroupHeader) expression in the suppress attribute of the section.

InRepeatedGroupHeader returns TRUE when a Group Header section is repeated on a second, third, etc., page.

I'm unclear whether you do not want to reset the pagenumber or whether you do not know how to. You can go into the section expert, and select the group footer->check "Reset Page Number After." You should also check "New page after" and add the following to the formula area:

not onlastrecord

This would cause a new page for a new group, with each group starting with page number 1. Then the suppression formula based on page number would work.
