I have content that is pulled from a DB field that is going into my crystal reports into the page header. The issue I am having is the content is sometimes too large to fit into my group header. I need to find a way to have crystal reports adjust the height of the group header because I have multiple group headers that will print in that section. I have "Can Grow" checked on the "format editor" set to unlimited lines, but I also have a few other fields in the group headers that don't give me the option to "can grow". I think I need to do something with a formula but I'm not sure how I can accomplish this. Here is a screen shot of the issue I am talking about. Any help with this would be appreciated thanks. I am using Crystal Reports Version 14.1.8.2060

I want to print data with two columns in crystal report. For example:
enter image description here
But the problem is, I cannot create columns in crystal report. I followed the instructions like Right Click in Section Details then tick the Format Multiple Columns checkbox then adjust the Gap and detail size in Layout Tab. However, only 1 column has been created.
enter image description here
I am using the Crystal Report built in in Visual Basic.Net 2008. Thank you very much.
Probably due to page margins, page size, detail width and gap, the content can't fit as 2 columns.
Use File, Page Setup to adjust those aspects.
Another suspect is that you never actually previewed the report.
The multi-column layout is rendered during Preview.
So you must actually run the report.
I have seen many sites but couldn’t find the proper answer. I want content in report header but instead of keeping content in details section my requirement is to keep in the report footer. When I inserted a subreport in footer a and another in report b they are showing up on different pages.how can I make them appear on the single page?
Thanks in advance,
RAM
If I understand the question correctly, you have a Report Footer that has been created with 2 sub-sections that are each printing on separate pages. If this is the case, then you can go into Section Expert and select the top level Report Footer section (the one that contains the Report Footer A and Report Footer B sub-sections) and then check the checkbox for Keep Together. This will ensure that all of the sub-sections within the Report Footer are printed on the same page together.
Keep in mind that things can still be pushed to a second page depending upon how you design the report. But as long as the content will all fit on one page the Keep Together property should get the job done well enough.
I want to display report header in every page of my cross tab report in Crystal Reports 13. Currently the header only appears on the first page. How can I fix this problem? Kindly suggest me.
Check bellow screen shot
Page 1:
Page 2:
Design View:
Right click on the selected fields in report header and go to format and check option Repeat on Horizontal Pages so that it applies for every page
Finally I solved the problem to display header for cross tab report in each page.
1.Create a formula using bellow code
WhileReadingRecords;
""
2.Create a Group Field using that formula field (which is empty group)
3.Crete Cross Tab Report inside of group header section.
4.Finally place my report header inside of page header section.
Now its working according to my demand and display report header every page
Thanks all of you
Check bellow screen shot
You have to do following things:
right-clicking on the row header
select Row options
select Repeat Labels on Page break
Crystal Reports lets you designate report objects that don't expand horizontally, such as text objects, field objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, to be repeated on each additional horizontal page that a Cross-Tab creates.
Check this for help.
Also, similar question How to repeat Crystal Report Header on each page answered by me here. If you still after this links don't get solution, feel free to ask so we go into details of your cross-tab etc...
There are two kinds of headers in Crystal Reports. There are Report Headers (which you're currently using) and there are Page Headers (which are what you want to use in this case.)
A Report Header will only display once - on the first page.
A Page Header will appear on every page. (Unless you
specifically tell it not to.)
Move the circled fields into a Page Header and suppress the old Report Header you were using before. If all goes well, you'll see the circled field on every page going forward.
One other possible approach would be to insert a separate section above each crosstab that will contain your repeating Page Header. (Section Expert -> Insert) or (Right click Section -> Insert Section Below)
Then for the aforementioned inserted section, force a page break before. (Section Expert -> New Page Before)
Repeat this step for each Report Header section that contains a crosstab. The downside is that you will have many pages depending on the number of crosstabs in your report. Hope it helps.
I am using Crystal Reports XI and trying to create a text box that would be displayed on every page of my multi-paged subreport. The text box exists on either the left or right hand side of the resulting pages. Right now, I am only able to display the text box once and only because the text box is placed on the main report. I tried to place the text box on a possible "page" section of the subreport but was not able to find such section.
Appreciate whatever suggestions you have. Thank you all! Sincerely,
You can place a repeating text box in the page header or page footer section that will print on every page.
That is the most reliable way to guarantee it showing on each page. The real question is: What kind of information are you wanting to display? If it is dynamic information that changes with the data on each page, the solution is much more complicated. If you are showing a static item, like a disclaimer, then the solution provided should be sufficient.
If you need more specific help, please provide more information regarding type of content and what you have or haven't tried. This will keep people from wasting time on solutions you know don't work...
Hi Create a formula #Group like below and apply group on this.And place the textbox on group header.
whilereadingrecords;
""
Goto change group->Repeat group header on each page.
I have a crystal report for an application form, which I have done by using an image as a water mark in the page header, and then have some fields to be overlayed in the details section by having the page header set to Underlay Following sections.
That all works nicely, but now I want to print another report with this: basically a cover letter which is the primary data set; which then calls my application form report as a sub report. However because subreports don't have page headers, I can't get the watermark and the fields to overlay with each other regardless of what keep togethor or underlay following sections I select on groupings.
Has anyone tried to do this before, and has been able to do it at all? I can't find anything.
OR has anyone created a watermark report, that then supresses the watermark for a subreport (basically reversing the logic above).
Thanks all.
If making a page header to underlay won't work, here's another option.
Make a top grouping that is the same for every record (e.g. the company the grand total of the report is for.) In Group Options, check the box for "Repeat Group Heading On Each Page." In Section Options, check "Underlay Following Sections."
Now, whatever you put in that header will be repeated on every page and everything else will go over it.
