I'm dealing with letters and logos and this has been a nightmare for me =(.

My Crystal report is using group header and footers and I was wondering how would i create a top margin, like an inch. So that the text isn't right at the top of a page if a second page was to occur) This would only occurs on the second page(and beyond) for that Group(if a second page was to happen)?


EG my Report would run and group my data into 3 groups
group 1 contains 2 pages so the 2nd page would have a top margin.
group 2 contains 1 page so no margin needed.
group 3 contains 4 pages so the 2nd,3rd and 4th page would have a top margin.





(I hope that made sense...)
 
Try this:

1. Create a blank group header.
2. In the Section Expert, turn on "Reset Page Number After" for the final group footer.
3. For the blank group header, set the suppress formula to something like this:

Pagenumber = 1

DO NOT check the suppress checkbox!

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.

Didn't even know you can reset the counter

Thanks a lot hilfy.
