Duplicate line printing on Crystal forms in MAS90

[Jamesglass]

MAS90 ver 4.20, Crystal Reports V10.

We are implementing a new look to all of our forms. When I modified the "STANDARD" forms for pick list, order print and invoice I have the same glitch on each one. The last 1-6 line items on one page, are duplicated on the next page.

It's not duplicating the values, as all the formulas and totals are correct. They just get printed twice. I know this is tied to changing the spacing to get more items on the page, I just can't figure out what is controlling it.

On the order print for example, the last 6 line items on page 1 print as the first 6 on page 2.

What did you do to modify it? Add another table?

The changes were basically cosmetic:
Text size, font, boxes and lines
Changed the section spacing to show more data.
Added a couple new formula and data fields to display some info that isn't in the standard pre-made form.
Removed some fields I didn't need to display.

All the data fields are right out of the original form work tables. No new tables or db's were added.

Does the STANDARD form print correctly?

[Jamesglass]

yes.

That means that something you changed mucked up the form. You can try to change just one thing at a time; then you'll know what change affected it.

I had this same problem when modifying a SO and INV form. What happened was when I increased the size of the sections (and I believe the footer sections in particular) it through the detail lines out of wack and caused the duplicate on the next page.

I finally did get an answer from our reseller.

It's a "known bug" caused by the "Page n of m" field or "Total page count."

When I replaced it with just the page number and removed the number of pages the problem went away.

I had wanted the number of pages on the report and had added that information during the course of the modifications to the stock report. I thought it sort of odd that the stock report didn't have it, but in the end, that's what caused the undesired page breaks and repitition of data.
