Page Breaking Within Report Footer

[bigmerf]

I was curious if there was a way to create a page break within the Report Footer section of my Crystal Report.

For example, I have a section of data that prints at the bottom of the report, however there is a large document of legal information that needs to print on a seperate page at the end of the report.

Is there a way to just print an extra page of data after the entire report has printed, or again, is there a way to add a page break within the report footer that would print the first group of data at the end of the report, and then the legal writing on a seperate page?

Please help!!

Break the report footer into sections. On the left hand side right click on the report footer section and select insert section below. You now have a new report footer section. In section expert, select "new page before" for that section..

Yeah, I actually tried that, but then I found that my orginal Report Footer(a) will no longer print at the bottom of the page. It prints right after the detail. I did check the box for "Print at Bottom of Page" as well.

I don't understand why the first report footer won't print at the bottom when ther is a new section added after that. Is there a function I also need to add to keep the original report footer at the bottom of the page??

You might try putting the page break in "a".. new page after.. that might fix it..

No, that was the first thing I tried. Either way it won't print that first footer section at the bottom any more.

Maybe creating a subreport would work? What do you think?

Try rechecking your settings. You really don't even need a page break.

If you set Report Footer (a) to print at the bottom of the page, this implies that Report Footer (b) will start on the next page.

Just tried it and it seemed to work fine.

Alright, I finally got it. And I think the problem may have been because I wasn't "refreshing" the report. I just kept going back and forth from the "Design" tab to the "Preview" tab and back again. The settings never changed it seemed. However, after I refreshed the report, it now works.

Thanks both of you (glalsop) and (lyanch) for your help!!
