Crystal reports subreport data should appear in the last page - crystal-reports

I have a report which has many sub reports. In one of the sub reports, there is a formula which says
"if the text data is more than 500 charcters, it will spill over to the next page" .
What I want to do is, if the data in the sub report exceeds 500 characters, it should apper on the last page of the report, not the next page. A new page should be generated at the end of the report and that data should appear on that page.

one wayout would be:
Take the sub report in saperate section and force it to conditionally supress and display in last page.
Go to the section expert of the section and then to the formula editor.
if (PageNumber=TotalPageCount)
then true
else false
Go to Section expert Paging tab there X-2of New page Before
if (PageNumber=TotalPageCount)
then true
else false

Printing the head line only on first page

I have jasper report which is created by many objects.
I want the header in one object. The object may come any where in the report.
How can i print header only on the first page of the object.
Can i use print when expression if page number equals 1.
is that page no means for whole pdf report or for only single jrxml object.
Thanks.
What does you mean anywhere in the report? If you want to print a title only once and in the first page, use the Title band in the jasper reports. No need of additional conditions required.

Adding 2 additional pages to the end of a crystal Report

I have a report for orders and i would like to add 2 pages at the end of the order. My order is most of the time 1 page, sometimes it will be 2 pages. So I want to add my terms & conditions to the end of it. This terms&conditions is always 2 pages.
I tried to add a text object in the report footer. Than in Section Expert, I select Report footer --> and Check the New Page Before ( I also tried it with the New Page After)
I also suppress the sections that I don't want to appear on the 2 last pages by using : PageNumber > TotalPageCount - 2
As far as this all works, but if I open my report. On the second page of the report you see the beginning of the terms&conditions. On the third page of the report you will see also de terms&conditions. But the second portion of the first page, of the terms&conditions, is also on the second page of the terms&conditions. therefore, there is always a part of the text that is duplicated
For example: my example of terms&conditions exist of 14 points. On the first page of the terms you will see point 1 to point 8. on the second page you will see point 6 to point 10. and on the third page you will see point 9 to point 14
--> Thats very annoying!!
I also tried it to check 'Suppress if duplicated' --> but nothing is changing??
Can someone help me with my problem please??
Place the terms and conditions in sub report and place that sub report in report footer

Two different pages with distinct headers and footers in crystal reports

Right so I'm fairly new to this crystal reports thing and i've been stuck with this for days and can't get my head around it!
i have to produce a report which contains two pages - 1. purchase order and 2. receiving note
report 1. has its own
header
detail
footer
report 2 has distincts header, detail and footer.
the only way i managed to make this happen was to use subreports but they only work in 1 level deep so having the addresses in subreports themselves i can't use this!
Now ive tried creating new groups and all of that but i cant get it to show in different pages
right now i have
header1
header2
details1
details2
footer1
footer2
any ideas of what could i do please?
If you know that page 1 and 2 are always page 1 and 2 (and a page 1 doesn't spill over into the 2nd page pushing the original 2nd page out to the 3rd page) then you can use a formula to change the header based on the page number. Create a new formula and then you can do something like this:
Basic Syntax
If PageNumber = 1 Then
formula = "This is the page header for page 1"
ElseIf PageNumber = 2 Then
formula = "This is the page header for page 2"
End If
That said, I probably would probably stick to using sub reports and use the report headers in those reports to display your unique headings. Using the section expert you can make sure that there is a page break between the two sub reports.

Crystal reports no data lable

I have a report containing some sub reports and in my main report i am showing the sub reports based on scan mode and status coming from query.
Now i need to show a message whenever sub reports don't have data.
I tried like this.
checked supress blank sub report and supress blank section for all reports.
1.Kept a text box in report footer of main report.
2.Took a field (Say Barcode) from sub report and passed to main report using shared variable.
3.In section expert of text box wrote like this.
not isnull(Barcode)
But it is not working.
Please suggest.
If I have understood this correctly the code below should work. Tip, avoid using NOT ISNULL. If possible just change the outcome order of your IF statement as below.
To make your formula more robust also, it's a great idea to add in the:
OR = ""
To account for any blank entries.
Final code:
IF Isnull({Barcode}) OR {Barcode} = "" THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
