Missing Page Header 1

[suburbanites]

Hi,

I'm using Crystal XI SP1.

I inherited a report with no Page Header Section. How do I insert/create a PageHeader?

Thanks so much for your help..

Sections cannot be entirely deleted. Is this a subreport by any chance? If so, subs don't have page headers--you have to create them. Create a formula:

whilereadingrecords;
1

Insert a group on this formula and check "repeat group header on each page". Then remove the groupname and use this section for your page header fields.

If you are not using a subreport, then go into the design mode, and grab the page header boundary and drag it so that it becomes visible. Also try right clicking in the body of the report and check "show hidden sections in design".

It is a subreport. Where do I find "repeat group header on each page" to check?

Disregard. I just found it. Thanks so much as always LB....

I was just reading your guys thread and was trying to get it to work with a report I have. I got it to work but instead of putting the page header at the top of each page it puts a page header for each person that it pulls. How do I just get it to put it at the top of each page?

Thanks

Sounds like you might not have made this new group your first group. In the subreport, go to report->group expert and use the arrow keys to make the group on the formula your group #1.

That was my problem. Thank you. I understand the WhileReadingRecords but why do you put the 1 in there?

It could be anything that is true for all records, e.g., "", but there has to be something to group on, so you that you can use the "repeat group header on each page" feature. Then you remove the groupname from the group section.
