NEW PAGE FUNCTION - CRYSTAL 8

[pjmdesigns]

I have a report with 1 group. My question is simple - I want each group header to be displayed on a new page.

I have tried using the 'New Page Before', but then get a blank page at the start of the report, I assume I'm using the right function, but how to I get rid of the blank page?

Thanks
PJ

Hi

do you have your group set to keep together?
if so
just click on the group footer and right click format section and there check new page after

Yeah, the Group Header and Footer are set to keep together. I checked 'New Page After' on the Group Footer but now have a blank page at the end of the document instead?

hi

did you check in your group format section repeat goup header on every page?

I had another look: When checking 'New Page After' on the Group footer I entered the formula function 'Onfirstrecord', this seems to work, not quite sure why though! Any ideas?

Cheers for your help!

If you use "New page before" for the group header, then in the x+2 area put:

Not Onfirstrecord

If you use "New page after" for the group footer, then enter

Not Onlastrecord

Result!

I thought it had worked, but was wrong; the groups were no longer on separate pages. I tried the NOT ONLASTRECORD (which along with pgteks last post makes perfect sense) and it works like a dream.

Thanks to you both!
