New Page After in Sub Reports

[Dross]

Using Crystal 9. I have an empty main report that contains 3 sub reports. The sub Reports are in report footers of the main report and the data itself is in a group header. I want each group to be on it's own page except on the last page because then it creates a blank last page.

I have tried several ways in the section expert to correct this, but can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

Within each subreport, go to the section expert->group footer->new page after->x+2 and enter:

not onlastrecord

-LB

Not sure what you mean by x+2

x+2 is an icon on the right-hand side of some 'expert' tabs. It leads to a work-area where you can define a formula.

Thanks. I have never seen anyone refer to it as x+2, just as the formula editor.

By the way, that didn't work

Please explain specifically what happened instead of just saying something didn't work.

Went to the sub report
went to section expert
Clicked on the formula enter next to New Page After
and put not onlastrecord in the selection.
closed and refreshed and the results did not change. There is a blank page after

A blank page after what? Each subreport? The last subreport?

If you go into the main report->design mode, you should minimize any white space in the report footer sections, and make sure you don't have any unused report footer sections. Also format the report footers to "suppress blank section".

In the subreports, also check in design mode to make sure you don't have any unused report sections that are displaying. If the subs can be null, also format each subreport to "suppress blank subreport".
