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.

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.
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.
I have tried every combination of band configuration and layouts.
I have a master report and (currently) 2 subreports. The printout is a workorder and each work order must have X number of repair items and Y number of detailed parts used to repair the component. Sometimes there are only a few of each other times there are over 50 each.
Header of the report looks great. I have two bands where I place my subreports. Originally I had them both in the same band and specified the second subreport as "float" which resulted in the same effect as having each in separate bands.
The subreports display fine however on occasion the parts list will overlap the details I have specified in Last Page Footer band. This does not appear to happen when I place the labels in the Summary band however these labels are mostly boxes for signatures so alignment with the bottom of the page is required and summary seems to add labels and such at end of content.
Resizing the bands the subreports are in seems to work - kinda. However I need both subreports to start immediately after each other. So resizing bands isn't an option otherwise there is a bunch of white space between them and single page printing when only a few parts and repairs are selected does not happen.
Anyone have any ideas? Wisdom to share? Experience? This reminds me of working in HTML and sticky footers ugh :)
I know the question it's quite old, but since I had this problem and I already found the solution, I'll post it for someone that may need it in the future.
In my case, the problem was that I had the Summary With page Header and Footer checkbox selected. Once I put it to false, it worked like a charm.
I'm having a little layout problem here.
I'm developing a few Crystal reports, some of them tend to get pretty extensive concerning tables and such so they are divided into subreports. These subreports then get loaded onto the main report with a titel firld above it.
The issue I'm currently having is keeping the subreport and the subreport together. Often, te title of the details section is placed at the bottom of 1 page and the subreport on the next page. This isn't very nice-looking....
Yup, it's pretty simple:
In Section Expert, select the Detail section.
If there are multiple detail sections, you must select the outermost Detail section which contains the others.
Select Keep Together.
