global variabel is changed between pages 1

[AndersRM]

I created a formula field with
whilePrintingRecords;
global stringvar showText
The variabel will be set to "1" for a certain criteria.
In a another section, with the formula field with the text to show, I have marked Suppress and a condition
whilePrintingRecords;
global stringVar showText;
if showText="1" then
true
else
false;

My problem is that if the report will be more than one page and the second formula field is on page 2 then variabel is changed to "0". Why? What do do?

You don't need to use global variables unless you are passing data back from a subreport. But I doubt that is the cause of your problem. Probably you have another field that sets it, in the page header or footer.

It would also be easier to use Crystal's versatile system of automatic totalling, wherever possible. If you're not already familiar with Crystal's automated totals, see FAQ767-6524. Saves a lot of time and less prone to error.

How is the value of "showText" set? What is the content of the formula that sets that and where is it located?
