Need to test for footer of group so I can blank page header...

[hneal98]

Does anyone know how I can test for the group footer so when the report gets to it, it will blank the header for that page?

Thanks in advance.

A Group Footer occurs after the Page Header, so it would be too late.

If you'd care to post the intent, and technical information perhaps someone can assist you.

but when that page shows, it has a page header. How do I stop that from happening for the group footer page.

 

[synapsevampire]

Yes, that's true, when that page shows, it has a page header, and that page header prints P R I O R to the group header, right?

Does the group footer fall on it's own page?

If so, use the following formula in the suppression formula for the page header:

previous({table.groupfield}) <> {table.groupfield}

Your post doesn't supply anything technical, even though you've been asked to do so, try being more thorough about your environment and requirement.

Yes, it does. As far as technical, I am using Crystal 8.5 on Windows XP. Not sure if that is what you want. Anyway, where does this formula go? Does it go in the suppress property for the page header or does it go in the Group footer somewhere?

Go to the section expert (format->section)->page header->suppress->x+2 and enter:

next({table.groupfield}) <> {table.groupfield}

Substitute the table and field name for your group for {table.groupfield}.

Thanks for everyone's help, but I ended up doing something different. I just put this in the page header:

If next({@NewPCPName}) = {@NewPCPName}  or  PageNumber = 1 Then
    False
Else
    True

and it worked.
