Crystal just released (26 May 2005) a fix for a bug that has irritated us for years. The bug sometimes truncates non-English letters at the end of fields if you use OLE connection, e.g. the Swedish city of Malmö becomes Malm. This fix...
That's the problem. I can't figure out what kind of grouping to use for a page break. I'll probably have to go with inserting subreports for each copy of the report if nobody out there can come up with something better.

Thanks both for your replies.
I want to avoid making the user print the report three times. I could repeat the report as a subreport 3 times and will if I have to. I just thought maybe there was a more elegant solution.

I want create a report to make cover sheets for several documents. The cover sheets should have the same data on them except for a text title (which is not in the database)and I would like to do this in one run.

datarow2
datarow3

Title 2
datarow1
datarow2...

address = ""
if not(IsNull(line1)) then
address=address + chr(13) + line1
end if
if not(IsNull(line2)) then
address=address...

Good luck,
Jeff
Hi,
I've been exporting to RTF(Exact) format and every so often the text boxes that are generated in Word (both Word 97 and Word 2003) are not big enough to show all the text that was exported. Line breaks are also a bit off. This happens with both text fields and data fields in Crystal...
