Continued information on the next page of the report

[Sable]

I often create reports that have more than one page of information for each record in a group. Example: If Group Header #1 displays the Request ID and I include a description of the request in Group Footer #1, the description usually takes up more than one page. I need to display 'Request ID Con't...' in the page header of the report on the next page to show the users that the request ID description is continued on the next page. How can I do this?

In the page header I have tried:
IF Previous({request_id})= {request_id} then
{request_id} + " (Con't...)"
which has worked in the past, but such is not the case for this situation. I am using Crystal Reports v4.5.

Thanks,
JO

Why doesn't your formula work this time?

I don't know of another way until you get to later versions of Crystal. Version 5 has a "repeat GH on each new page" and a function called "InRepeatedGroupHeader". Ken Hamady
