Crystal 9 Format Grouping

[Slimsteve]

I have a small question relating to grouping on a crystal report.

Here is the report setup:

Page Header : report Header details
Group Header : Customer Number
Details: All records for that customer
Group Footer : Summaries of customer records.

Nothing too special about the report setup, but the problem I have got is that when the grouping runs onto a second page I need to leave about a couple of inches blank on the bottom of the previous page (printing on pre-printed stationary).

Bascially the report grouping break page method works fine, unless the grouping exceeds more than one page, that is when the problem occurrs.

Any ideas??

You could force a page break based on recordnumber or linecount. Place the following in the formula section in format section->details->new page after:

remainder(recordnumber, 40) = 0 //substitute the number of records that work for you

To be even more precise, you could use a formula like {@linecount} to be placed in all group header and footer and detail sections:

whileprintingrecords;
numbervar line := line + 1;

Then use {@linecount} instead of "recordnumber" in the formula above.
