Keeping Groups Together Without Blank First Page 2

[Sange]

I have created a report using CR9 which contains three different groups. Ideally I would like to keep the groups together but realise this won't always be possible as the records for a particular group may exceed the page and as a result need to continue on the next page. I've found that if I check the "Keep Group Together" box for all three groups then the first page won't list any records. If these are are all unchecked then I've found that any of the three report headers can appear on the last line of the page with the remaining group details commencing on the next page which looks very untidy.

Ideally I would like groups to flow one after the other. In the event that a group (starting from group header A) won't fit on the one page then I would like it to commence on a new page. I don't want any group headers to appear on the last line of a page with the remaining group details commencing on the next page.

I hope this makes sense and I hope I can receive some assistance on this.

If you have Keep Group Together selected for Group 1 and this group is more than 1 page long crystal will automatically start on page 2, If you have a report header section.

The way round this is to suppress the Report Header section and create a seperate page header section containing the report header text, then conditionally suppress this dependant on the page number i.e.

PageNumber <> 1
