HELP How can I show 2 subreps inthe same section without overlapp? 3

[lorein]

Hi

I'm using crystal reprots 8.5
I make a report with 2 subreports in the same section, but these subreports are overlap.
I try to resolve this issue inserting a new page after the report footer of the first subreport ,and add a new page after the report header of the second subreport, but it doesn't work. I tried another options inserting new pages in several sections of the subreports but the 2 reports are trying to be printed at the same time!

There is a way to indicate which subreport will be printed first?? or something to do in order to resolve this problem


thanks for your help!!!!

The only way to do what you want is to insert a new section and put the second report in that new section. Right-click in the section in the grey area to the left of your data. Select "Insert Section Below". This will give you a new section at the same level as the original section. You can move your second subreport to this new section and it will print when the first one is done. Because the new section is at the same level as the original one, it's in the same grouping as the original and should print where and when you want it.

You can also have two subreports side by side, if they do not overlap.

Hi hilfy,

That is the approach I took, but for some reason, the second subreport always starts on a new page. I have looked through the two reports and sections and removed all of the keep together clauses, but the second report still won't start until the next page. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim.

The subreport itself has a [Keep Object Together] option, accessed from the main report which views it as a field with a format. Have you checked that?

Thanks Madawc, that was it!!

Why do you not want to use multiple sections?? That would take care of the problem right off!

As you can see in hilfy's post I am using two sections (Report Footer a and Report Footer b to be exact). Even after doing that, the second sub report was still starting on a new page until (as Madawc pointed out) I unchecked the "Keep Object Together" box on the subreport itself from the container report. Hope that clears things up.
