In group expert options I have set Keep Group Together, which makes sure a new page is set.
With two-sided printing enabled, how can I make sure that a new group always forms on a new sheet of paper? Can this be done in the formula expert? Is there some way of checking if the page I'm on is even or odd and insert a page from there? Just asking leading questions because I'm not familiar with what is possible with Crystal's formula editor. BTW, This is Crystal XI Enterprise Server.
You can do this with the onfirstrecord, pagenumber and the onlastrecord keywords.
On the group header section "New page before" formula...
not onfirstrecord //so every group (except the first) starts on a new page
On "New page after" formula...
//to keep the group from starting on even page but make sure the last page is not blank
remainder(pagenumber, 2) = 1 and not onlastrecord
Open the Section Expert screen. Select Report Header and check "Suppress (No Drill-Down)". Then select in the group header select the group you want to page break and check "New Page Before".
This Works fine if I need Page Break on one Group. How do I do if Page Break on Multiple Groups?
I found answer..
Using Next(Field) or Previous(Field), I added below condition and worked fine.
In Next Page Before formula:
Not onFirstRecord and ({table.field} <> previous({table.field}))
hi IronicMuffin i understand you question. the answer is versy simple but more effetcive.
step 1: Include dataset or database expert into your crystal report
Step2: In the outside surface of the report area right click and goto report and goto group expert
Step3: add the which field you include the group that time the bottom of the window options will appear
Step 4: click the option and agian goto 2nd tab of the option.
step 5: finally check(check=true) check box of Repeat Group header on each page other check box or put uncheck

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
I have 20 columns on report. We have provided user to exclude columns which don't want in report. So we made hidden.
Problem is when I get report then any last column on page gets appeared some part on 1 page & some part on another page.
Can you please help.
hi i hope i understand your question correctly. you want to avoid page breake for a tablix? mark the tablix go to properies and check the PageBreak Options for me tDisabled = True works to render all informations in one page.
if it is still not working check your pagelayout in report --> report properties
also i remember there was a InteractiveHeight Option somewhere that should be set to 0.
I'm new to ActiveReports 7, I have a rdlx Report using a stored procedure to populate multiple lists with TextBoxes. The data is appearing correctly, however I am unable to get the TextBoxes to break when their contained data exceeds the length of the page. Instead, the TextBox remains unbroken and starts on the next page leaving a large empty gap. I have the containing Lists' 'KeepTogether' property set to 'False' and it doesn't help. How can I make these Lists and/or TextBoxes break at the end of the page and resume on the next?
Check the type of report you have. There are the "ActiveReports 7 Page Report", aka FPL (Fixed Page Layout) report and the "CPL Report" (Continuous Page Layout).
Fixed Page Layout is for creating a new page for each record. Suitable for invoices and similar reports. You need a "CPL report" so that it only adds pageas as needed for the content.
To get a CPL Report take the following steps from inside the designer in Visual Studio:
Project > Add New Item
Choose the "ActiveReports 7 Page Report" item here.
Choose Report > Convert to CPL Report.
Those steps should effectively have the effect of changing "Page" to "Body".
Below are the steps I used to create a CPL report that has a list with a textbox containing very long text (longer than a page) and it renders across pages okay:
Add a list
Add a textbox to the list. The default properties should work fine, but the relevant properties on my textbox are:
TextBox.CanGrow=True
TextBox.WrapMode=WordWrap
List.KeepTogether=False: Although technically this should be fine either way if the textbox/list are larger than a page. KeepTogether=False will just prevent it from moving to a new page if it is starting half way down the page.
Let me know if you still don't crack it and I'll upload my test report here somewhere for you.
I am working on a jasper report, and I am trying to figure out a way for the report to page break on a variable change. The variable is actually a Field, and I put the value of the field in a variable.
Now, the Jasper Reports website has an example on how to break it by count like this
<groupExpression><![CDATA[new Boolean($V{BreakGroup_COUNT}.intValue()
> 5)]] ></groupExpression>
However, I am not sure of any way to compare the previous or next value and breaking after that.
You just want the report to start a new page when $F{MyField} changes value.
In this case simply create a group with 'Group Expression': $F{MyField}
Tick the option 'Start on a new page' for the group. There is no need for a variable.
Select the header of the group in the Document Structure window, and then select in the Properties window Start on New Page.
I hope some one must have dealt this situation before.
I have a crystal report and on that report I have different sections including headers ,detail and footer. I'm displaying parts related information on details section and description is one of the fields thats being displayed.
So now based on part's description(in detail section)I have to display some text on the page header. So I have to look for part's description for every single part ,and if even a single part has the given description out of all the parts I have to print a message on report header.
My assumption is to use conditonal suppress option at the page header section, but not sure how to check for values from details section at the page header level.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Here's the way I would approach it.
Create a formula which returns 1 when your condition is met- otherwise 0. For example:
if {table.field} like '*acid*' then 1 else 0;
Then your conditional surpression can sum your new formula- and if the result is 0 it will hide the message.
sum({formula}) = 0
If you want to display it in Report Header then i would use a SQL Expression to conditionally suppres the text you want.
The SQL Expression
(select count(1) from dbo.TABLE where description = 'my_description')
Then in the Suppress formula:
{?SQL_EXPRESSSION} = 0
