I have a report created by someone else; the page header and footer are not visible in the Design view nor are they listed in the Section Expert.
How do I make them visible again? I have both CR2008 & 2011 and neither show those sections.
They are probably hidden by setting of CR. To make them visible right click on report and turn on hidden sections
Hope it helps

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 having problem in details section, my report will insert blank page to my first pages and will only display data started from second pages, below is setting for my details section
Section1(Report Header)
only suppress blank section is ticked
Section2(Page Header a)
only suppress blank section is ticked
PageHeaderSection2(Page Header b)
only suppress blank section is ticked
problem goes here
Section3 (Details)
only suppress blank section is ticked
the rest all is un-tick
If you are using any groups, check if you have "Keep together" checked and try to uncheck it and see if it helps. It should be in Section Expert and also in Change Group...
The length of one of your column values could be too long for your setup
The page header is suppressed, un-surpress the header.
Hope this helps!
I guess, you have expanded your fields, maybe the header or footer, screenshot may help, you need to make their sized small, sometimes when the header is too big, the details section starts from next page, or you can always play with the margins of the report.
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.
SSRS Newbie and feeling a bit silly.
Im working on my first report(in VS 2008) and cant seem to work out the group footer for my tablix. This must sound really simple but how do I add it and configure it to show on every page of my report? I have the group header working fine but I want the overall totals to display at the bottom of each page in my report. Every tutorial/website I check doesnt really seem to explain it very well
Any ideas?
Thanks
If you add a footer, it will appear on every page by default. There are two properties that can remove the footer from the First and/or Last page of the report. However, by default, the footer is active on all pages of a report.
So basically, if you add data to the footer, it should work.
I have a crystal report which when generated has a last page that is blank except for the page footer (which indicates the current page, as well as the report title).
This only occurs when the data displayed on the second last page completely fills the page.
Would anyone have any ideas as to why this might be?
When you check the checkbox New Page After, you will see an icon just right to it. This icon represents Formula Workshop. Click this icon and type NOT OnLastRecord.
Save and close the window, you are good to test this and praise me for the rest of your lives :)
Instead of using the checkbox on the group footer, use a formula.
The one that I use is
not(OnLastRecord)
You have some (almost) empty group footer, which doesn't fit onto last (non-empty) page.
You have to set "New page after" option to some inner group footer section.
I know that this is an old question, but I just had a similar problem.
In my case the last page was printing the Page header and nothing else.
It turns out that the fix for me was to Right Click on the Report Footer (Which had no contents) and choose Hide.
So it was basically putting in a blank report footer and including the page header with it...
Hope this helps...
+1 to Arvo because what he said is probably the case. I'll expand on it a little.
More than likely you have a section that will not totally fit on the second to last page so it spills over to a new page.
Some options you may be able to use are in the section expert are "Keep Together" which keeps all the lines of the section together, either on the current page (if there is room) or on the next (if not), or the "Suppress Blank Section". You could also try to shrink the height of the section, but this will probably not work in all cases.
As Arvo also said, make sure that you do not have the "New Page After" flag set for any of the sections as this could cause it as well.
I was in the same situation and a good solution is to control the "New Page After" (in my case in the group footer) by a simple sentence, only doing it, when the current page is not the last.
With the option "New Page After" unchecked put a formula on it, clicking it's right formula button.
Code:
if(PageNumber = TotalPageCount) Then
True
else
False;
Saves a lot of troubles.

P.D. It's Crystal Syntax.
Evaluate if you need a report footer. If don't, be sure supress this section on report.
In addition, to checking what other have mentioned above, after creating a new Blank Report, under Page Setup, the paper size for me was A4 by default. When I changed it to Letter, I would get a second blank page in the Print Preview as well as when physically printing to letter paper. Presumably this is due to going over the page boundaries. I was able to reduce the magins, and make the report content fit on the page.
Or being on “Design” tab, under “Report Header” right click and select “Fit Section”
In my case, it was an image outside the paper design, i just align it and scaled it to fit my paper.
For some this might happen when there is an unused section like report footer. Suppress the section, it will be resolved.
