Crystal Reports blank page "standard" solution not working - crystal-reports

Having an annoying problem with a report. It's a fairly simple report with 1 group and multiple detail sections (each detail section contains a subreport).
Sometimes the data makes the groupfooter start just on the next page, printing an empty page with just the groupheader and pagefooter.
The "standard" solution of adding Not OnLastRecord formula in the groupfooters New Page After option doesn't work.
I've been trying with Suppress, Hide, Keep Together options all over the report, but nothing seems to work.
Anybody have other suggestions?
I'm using Crystal Report in Visual Studio (not the stand alone)

What is the result you want to achieve?
The content doesn't fit the page, I suppose.
GroupHeader + Content + GroupFooter can't be printed in a single page, so there's a page with just GroupHeader or one with GroupFooter only.
If you want to divide subreport between pages
I suppose that you have to look at Details Section, removing Keep Together clause to Details, to SubReport and inside SubReport so that details section will be divided, if possible, in the page with GroupHeader and in the page with GroupFooter
If you want GroupHeader and GroupFooter to be printed on any page, also if Subereport doesn't fit
GroupHeader can be repeated on every page ("repeat group footer on each page" in Group Expert), GroupFooter can't.. someone suggest to use Page Footer instead.

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.

Display report header in every page of cross tab in Crystal report

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.

Adding a terms and conditions page to a Crystal Reports report

In Visual Studio 2005 Crystal Reports we have a simple report to the back side of this report. I need to add our terms and conditions page.
How to insert or add a second report?
Or
I need to mention our terms and conditions page on back side of main report.
How can I add this functionality?
If I understand correctly that you have one detail per page, which is displayed in the Page Header, and you have nothing in the Details section, you could do the following:
In the Detail section, insert a second Detail second so that you'll have Detail A and Detail B. Leave Detail A blank. Put the Terms & Conditions image into Detail B, go to Format Section for Detail B, and check New Page Before. The reasons for the two detail sections is sometimes CR doesn't respect New Page Before in a single Detail section.
Now, go to Format Section, and for the Page Header enter the following formula in the Suppress (No Drill-Down) formula editor:
PageNumber mod 2 = 0
You will now have one record printed in the page header, then a page with the watermark, then another page with a record in the page header, then a page with the watermark, etc.
You'll just need to make sure when printing to use full duplexing.

SSRS How to add a tablix footer group

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.

Page Footer not showing in Crystal Report

I am using Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2008. I have about 5 pages worth of static text that needs to appear at the top of my report, so I put it in the report header section. I have a page footer section on the page that shows the page number. This does not show, and I suspect it has something to do with the long report header. How can I make the page footer show with a large report header?
Edit: The Page Footer is actually appearing once on the last page. The Report Header takes up 5 pages and there isn't a page footer on any of those pages.
Can you split static text between many header (sub)sections (in a way that every section has about pageful of text)? May help.
I had exactly the same problem. My report header was very long and the page number only was appearing at last page. The problem was that i had my page number in the Report Footer. Then i realize that i had a Page Footer section and moved the page number there. I also changed the section properties (it had the No Drill down option checked).
Now i have the same big header with the page number on all pages.

Ken Hammady has a solution for crosstabs at
http://kenhamady.com/cru/archives/87
It can be adapted to work with long texts in textboxes.
I moved all of my text from the Report Header to the Report Footer, and the page numbers will print. I will add a subreport to show my detailed data.
