GroupFooter1 Size in ActiveReports - activereports

I have a group footer on a document which has a subreport. The sub-report runs to more than a page. Is there a limit to the size a subreport can be on a group footer?

There is no limitation to the size property of the subreport control but could you please email our support team to look into this? (https://www.grapecity.com/en/support/contact) That way we can get some more background on your question and see what report type you're using.

Adjusting group header vertically to fit content when content is printed to screen from a field

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

Crystal Report section details doesn't create columns

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,

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.

Watermark repeatation in subreports

Lets Say, I have 10 subreports in a report.I put each subreports in detail section of crystal report(e.g: details a,details b, details c in this way) I want to repeat a watermark in each subreport page without putting the watermark in each subreport separately. How may I achieve that? Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
I follow the instructions in this link and it works perfectly.

Does Crystal Reports have an equivalent of a master page?

Let's say I have a logo that I want to appear in the same place on a set of reports (many files). Is there a way for me to put that logo into the equivalent of a master page and apply that master page to all the pages of my reports? I'd like the logo to appear in the same place on a variety of documents without having to mess around with copypasta.
Using CR 9.2 (ouch, call the archeology dept eh?).
The easiest way to do this is to add a new header or footer section that includes your logo.
In Crystal 2008 (sorry, it's all I have) this is done by right clicking on any of the header/footer sections (e.g. Report header, page header, group footer, etc.) and then selecting "Insert Section Below".
This gets you a new section that will repeat at the top or bottom of every new section/page. Any logos pasted into a page header will be reused for each page.
Note that you can have as many "page header" sections as you want if you find it helpful to split up the header into multiple vertically stacked sections.
Years ago they used to have an page header and page footer. Not sure about the current version of Crystal Reports.
you can create a report as [MasterReport] with the logo in any where of it then you should insert a subreport into it. MasterReport equivalent of the master page and the subreport is like the placeHolders in asp.net and you can create this subreport like a dynamic report.
When you add a subreport to a report, crystal reporter creates a copy of subreport and save it into main report so you can not change the subreport by code at run time.
