How to suppress Page Footer if the page is an inserted blank page?

[lmei]

Hi,

I have a report that inserts a blank page under certain contion. My problem is that the page footer shows up on the this page. How do I suppress the page footer?

Thanks,
Lin

Right click the page footer and select format section.

Click the X 2 next to Suppress and place the same criteria as you use to add in the blank page.

If this doesn't work, post specifics, such as Crystal version, the formulas used, how the blank page is being inserted, etc.

What are the certain circumstances that cause a blank page?

Are you forcing a new page conditionally either before or after a section?

If you are doing it conditionally, you can suppress the Page Footer section using the opposite of the logic you are using to force the new page.

Brian: You have that backwards, the formula would be the same in the X 2 suppress as it is to create a new page since the new page should NOT have the page footer.

You are absolutely right. I guess I should hang it up for the day, brain matters is getting a little mushy

Hi All,

Thanks to all of you responding to me request promptly. Sorry that I didn't explain myself clearly. The problem is more complicated than that. I solved most part of issues except the page footer one. Let me start from beginning.

I have a report that needs to print on both sides of a page and there are two groups in the report. In order to avoid having the first page of the 2nd client's information printed on the back of the 1st client's page, I have to insert a blank page. Crystal's support site offered this work around which is to insert a group header a, check "New Page After" and "Suppress" for the section. For the group footer, check "New Page After". The inserting part works fine then. But the "Reset Page After" does not work even the setting is checked. Seems "New Page After" and "Reset Page After" settings have conflict with each other. Only one works but not both. So I created my own page counter formula which resets page after each client but the page number shows "1" for each inserted blank page, the page counter for other pages are fine. I'm thinking if I simply get rid of the page footer of the blank page, my problem will be solved.

Any thought on the settings? I hope that I have explained my problem.

Thanks again,
Lin
