I have been working on this for a while and can't figure out how to get it resolved. I have a crystal report in calendar format. The report always has 12 pages of a year, with each page for 1 month.
What I would like to accomplish: When the report is opened and the default first page is based on the current date's month. E.g. When today's date is 02/13/2023, the default page showing is February's page. When today's date is 04/05/2023, the default page showing is April's page.
Crystal report always shows the first page as default page, meaning, always starts from January's page. This is not user-friendly for users.
Thanks in advance.
What are you using to preview the report: Crystal Report Designer or a Crystal Runtime viewer?
Would you be open to a solution that provides the data via a web page? At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation/scheduling tools listed on Ken Hamady's web site allows you to take schedule data in a Crystal report and convert it to an interactive web schedule with options for day/week/workweek/monthl views (that automatically default to the current date).

I'm making a check report and need the check stub to show up twice on each page. I think i can do this by showing the same group header, details and footer on the same page twice. The issue I'm having is that the table I'm connecting too only stores the data for a brief moment while the report is being accessed which seems to bar me from using subreports. The subreports just show up blank. Is there a way to show the same section twice without using a subreport?
I'm attempting to modify a Crystal Report that prints our invoices. The original request was to allow the report to print the T&C (Terms & Conditions) Page at the end of each invoice. I was able to do this successfully. However, when I presented it to the end-user they explained that they don't want to have to print each invoice individually. (Makes sense...) However, I have not been able to successfully provide results as of yet. Below are my challenges/questions:
I obviously can't expect the Report Footer to print multiple times within the report so I inserted a section below my current page footer for the T&C. I wanted to add a 'New Page Before' but that option is grayed out. After attempting to identify what was causing this to gray out without success (content that was marked 'can grow' or that was too large for a section is my understanding) I decided to attempt creating a subreport in the new page footer & I marked that section of the report as 'New Page Before' so that the T&C would be placed on a new page between each invoice. I finally got the first line of the T&C to show up but the rest was cut off and the next page started the next invoice.
Does anyone know why my subreport in the page footer - to display a single page print of our company's T&C - isn't working as intended?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Open the SubReport by right clicking and going to Edit from the main report.
Resize the Detail section of the Subreport. This should help displaying all of the T&C

how should i do this please help me out
In the Crystal Reports designer you have several places by default (report header, page header...).
To set something to appear in the last page you should use "report footer".

I have a requirement to have a page footer show up on the first page of a report, and then no page footer on subsequent pages.
When I create a report that toggles the visibility of objects in the footer it works fine in BIDS, and when I export to PDF, however upon export to MS Word, the footer from the first page appears on every page.
In other tests I have attempted, it appears that other than the Page Number, anything that appears on the first page of a report's footer, will appear on every page when exported to Word.
Does anyone have ideas for how to create Footer content that changes depending on what page you are on, and will persist through the export to MS Word?
This answer is pretty late in coming to this user, but for any others fighting with this, please see the msdn SQL Server export to Word write-up here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc627455(v=SQL.100).aspx
In a nutshell, toggling states anywhere in the report is not supported. Whatever the state of the report item is on the first page is what it'll be throughout the exported report. With that in mind, it appears that PDF will be a better format to support with your customers.
How do I get total number pages in a report using Report Viewer?
Is this what you are using?
=Globals!TotalPages
be aware that this only works in the header or footer of the report.
Also, in reporting services 2008 the report may be rendered a page at a time on demand as each page is viewed, and the TotalPages number may not be accurate until the entire report has been viewed/rendered.
