Cannot get a sub-report to print without the headers and footers of the main report

[howieb4]

Hi. First post and I hope I doing this correct.
I have a Crystal Report Purchase Order that is controlled by Accountable Software's Forms Printer within Microsoft Great Plains. The report prints great as is, but I have been asked to add four pages of Terms & Conditions to print after the report. I've looked online for a solution, and many of the solutions come from your site, but I cannot get it to work. I created a subreport and added it to the footer of the report, and it does print after the PO but it prints with both the header and footer of the PO. I just want the four pages to print basically on four blank pages. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I wouldn't think this would be so difficult.

Thanks in advance
HB

Just in case you didn't, have you tried putting the sub-report in the Report Footer vs a Group Footer?

I'm assuming that the headers have been configured to print/repeat on all pages.

One work around might be to put a global variable in the report header something like:

whileprintingrecords;
global BooleanVar suppressPrinting := false;
"";

Then, in the second that contains your page headings, set up conditional formatting so print or suppress them with:
whileprintingrecords;
global BooleanVar suppressPrinting;
suppressPrinting;

Finally, in the Report Footer, add a formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global BooleanVar suppressPrinting := true;
"";

It's all a little more awkward but it should give you the ability to turn off the header sections from printing when you've reached the end of the report.
