I have created a large Access Form that spans the form header, all of the detail section 22" and form footer. When viewing the form it will not allow scrolling.
I have copied elements into a fresh database and a new form with the same results. I can send a zip file with this single form to anyone interested in helping.
Ensure that you have the Scroll Bars property set to Both or Vertical Only in the Form Properties:
Seems I figured it out. My Form Header Section was too long. Seems once it gets past 10" it disables the scroll bar on my screen as I was trying to use it improperly to extend the length of my form which is limited to just the 22" . Makes sense that the Header section is not designed to be scrolled, but I had some large images with text boxes between them. Just met a limit of Access
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.

Goto change group->Repeat group header on each page.
We are trying to create Crystal Report but have a problem with page template creation.
Report looks like this:
It should be "stamp" in the right bottom corner of page. First page stamp looks little different from other pages stamp.
At the left part of page on the left margin two objects are placed. Both of them oriented vertically and should work as header and footer (should be shown on every page) but take more room than required for usual header and footer. In this case we can't use usual header and footer to place these objects.
Tables on pages should work as "background" because even 1 record on page should show 20-row table (with first row filled in this example)
It would be great if we have something like "left running title" but we can't see such feature in CR.
I attached couple images to show how the report should look (sorry, i can't post images here because have no enough reputation points):
First Page Second Page
Could you please say how such report template can be created? We have no skilled CR developer in our company and have no idea which way of report creation can be used :(
We also agree to use another report engine if it is free and can work with .NET applications
Thanks for help

You can use underlay property of the sections to get the desired result. You can use the page header and page footer for putting the details and for page-header, set the underlay property to TRUE and for the footer, set the property of the detail section (I presume, you have a single detail section in the report) to TRUE. This will make the details of the header and footer display beneath the detail section.
I would like to build a report that starts at the bottom of a page and grows upwards instead of a report that starts at the top of the page and grows downwards. How could I do this?
--Edit--
For clarification, below is an image depicting the way I need to construct the report.
Basically, I'm looking for a way to have the whitespace at the top of the page and the data at the bottom of the page, instead of the more traditional look of data at the top of the page and whitespace at the bottom of the page.
Without knowing much about what the request is, I don't believe there is a way for the report to run from the bottom up, but you could possibly do a couple things to fake the system out.
For example you can do something like in the following link to put your summaries in the header:
Crystal Reports: global variable running total not displaying in header
Then you can play with the sorting of the details if you need the rows to go in decending order.
Hope this helps.
[EDIT] I see you updated your question so I'll add an update to my answer.
One more thing you can try out is to play around with the Print at the Bottom of the Page and Keep Together properties of the sections. I haven't tried this, but one thing you may be able to do is put the section at the bottom of the page and perhaps find a way to have the section grow from there. You will have an issue if the page goes to another page and though it seems possible in my head that the section could grow while being placed at the bottom of the page I haven't tried it so it might not work. I am just throwing it out there for one more thing you can try. Hope this helps.
You could try:
Create an empty report with your headers and related text
Put a subreport displaying your data in the report footer and set the sort order for the subreport query to descending.
In the report footer properties, select Print at bottom of page
I tried it with some sample data and it works, but I'm not sure what will happen if your data goes to two pages.
I have a Crystal XI Release 2 report that my client wants to see on two pages. He wants the report to print the demographic information such as (name, address, etc...) for a person on the first page and the totals for the person need to print on the second page. The first page will include as many rows as will fit and the second page will have the same amount of rows which correspond one for one to the first page. Then the third page will contain a new page of people starting where the first ended.
He basically is looking for printing similar to how Excel prints (and please don't tell me to Export to Excel and print from there).
I came up with two ideas for doing this, but only got anywhere with one. The first was to run two reports (one for the demographic info and the other for the totals) which would be collated together somehow. I didn't get very far with this, but I didn't spend a ton of time researching this so I still think this could be an option.
The second way was to extend the report design to the width of two landscape pages, add my fields, and then change my page size back to a single landscape size before I get ready to print. This way sorta works, but can cause some weird issues. One is that if you try to edit/add a field on the second page when the report size is set to a single page landscape the fields are moved to the far right of the first page which makes sense because I would think that is supposed to be the editable region of the designer so I'd assume you're not supposed to have fields outside of this region.
All in all, the second way works, but I know there has to be a better way to do this. I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar request or have some other ideas on a better way to do this. Thanks
I can't think of an easy way to do this in Crystal.
You could get all hacky on the datasource and duplicate every 20(or however many fit on one page) rows. Then you would set up 2 details sections, one section for demographics and the other for totals. Then conditionally suppress them depending on remainder(pagenumber, 2).
Or you could use a subreport that accepts paging parameters and only returns 20 rows per page. But I'm not even sure if you can link a subreport parameter to the pagenumber special field.
How does your second way work? The extra fields just get printed on the next page somehow? However, the problem is that the fields stay outside the designer when you go back to one page and if you need to edit they all move back inside the designer? Couldn't you increase the page width before editing? That's not too bad if it somehow prints it out correctly every time.
I guess I will mark this as the answer since I still haven't been able to figure out a better way around it. If anyone finds a better way then post a response and if it works I think can toggle the answer.
What I do to get around this is to set my printer to the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and then change the width to the widest it will allow which is 36". Then I put the demographic information from the beginning of the section to around 11" and put the totals stating just to the right of where the first section ended and go for another page width.
Then I make whatever changes that I need to make and set the printer back to the printer I want to use for the correct size. After you do this you will find that the editable area only extends to the first page, but you can see the second page of fields to the right. If you try to edit a field on the second page the field will move to the far right of the editable region which is at the far right of the first page so make sure you reset your printer before making edits.
I think I also had to play around with the width of the detail section on the layout tab of the section expert to get the report to print correctly. I set it to the combined size of the 2 pages for mine to look correct.
I think that this is probably a super rare issue, but if you are having a similar issue, that is how I get around it.
