I need to create a report with a subreport, but the main report has vertical orientation, and I need that the subreport has horizontal orientation, the problem is when I change the page orientation in the subreport, change in the main report.
If someone know how to put diferent orientation in the main and the subreport, please tell me.
Thanks
Place the subreport in its own section. Then, in the Section Expert for the section in which the sub report resides, set the orientation of that section to landscape.
I was able to change the layout of sub-report by going to section expert of sub-report sections and changing layout there, individually for each section.
Placing sub-report in a separate subsection was not required in my case.
Thank you

I have a report which contains multiple pages. Is there any possibility to use a design for the first page and on the other pages to have a different one? If so, how can I achieve this? Thanks
It's possible to combine landscape and portrait subreports, you need a new section for ever subreport.
Right click on one of the section and select "Section expert", from here you can add new sections by clicking on an existing section (header, details, footer) and the Add button on the "Paging" tab on the right you can decide the orientation of you section (Default (portrait), landscape and portrait).
Now create your subreport and put it in the new section.
For a portrait subreport just follow the default creation procedure.
For a landscape subreport create a landscape oriented section and in the subreport set landscape orientation in each section of the subreport.
Page Header and Page Footer won't allow you to change the orientation, so in your landscape subreport suppress those section without drill down (right click on the section to find this option) or Crystal Report will act weird and create a new page for every section with different orientation and suppressing them will prevent this situation.
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 am preparing a report and currently I have a portrait and landscape subreports, I want to mix them in one report.?

At the end you will have a situation like this
If a main report is set to portrait orientation and the subreport is set to landscape, the subreport will print landscape, on a portrait oriented page, thus resulting in data being cut off. In the reverse scenario, main report is landscape, subreport portrait, the subreport will print portrait on a landscape oriented paper and as above, data will be cut off.
I am using Crystal Reports 10. It doesn't has "Paging" tab in Section Expert. I believe mix page orientation is not possible in this version.
Perhaps you can help me with a problem I am having with Crystal Reports. I have a sub-report that has its own set a page headers. These are distinct from the page headers of the main report.
The heading show up when I run the sub-report by itself but when I run the main report, the heading portion of the sub-report is suppressed, only the detail lines show.
I cannot solve this by moving the heading to the main report because the sub-report is used in all three of my reports. In two of the reports I have two distinct detail sections.
I also tried to create group headers for the sub-reports. These are also suppressed in the main report.
Any help will be appreciated, I have been struggling with this problem for several day.
You can create additional page header sections and suppress them conditionally
Open the section expert within Crystal Reports whilst looking at the subreport
select the report header section
check that the "common" options does not have a tick next to hide, suppress
save the report and test
hello
i want to create watermark background in crystal report.
one way is:
1- On the Report menu, click Section Expert.
The Section Expert dialog box appears.
2- In the Sections list, click Page Header, then select the Underlay Following Sections check box.
3- Click OK to preview the report again.
but in this solution lines and boxes in report design page appear back of background image.
what is better solution?
the solution to this problem is make a subreport, the main report will only have the watermark on page header A, and the subreport on page header B
Your method is the best way to do it, as far as I know.
On your background don't forget to right-click->move->to back. That should put the background image in the back and all other report elements in the front.
