Missing page headers with "SeparatePages = False"

Hi All,
I'm using Crystal Reports 10.0 with Visual Studio .NET 2002.

I'm trying to allow the user to print my multiple-page report using his browser, and thus I'm setting the SeparatePages property of the WebForms viewer to False. This works great, except that it kills my page headers. Now, what's with that?

My report is printed on a monthly basis, and one page says 'January' while the next page says 'February'. If I don't have a page header to to say this, my users would be a bit confused, becaue they wouldn't know which month they're looking at. Is this how the WebForms viewer behaves, or am I missing something?

Thanks.

JC

I'm not familiar with the form, however you can create a faux group to house the same information by creating another outer grouping than contains the month, and using it as the page header:

month({table.date})

Then use the group footer as the page footer, and select new page after and print at bottom of page within it's formatting.

Thanks synapse.

I already have a group on the month, though. My report is made up of a main report and a sub report. The main report has a group on the date, just like you described above, and the sub report is printed on the group footer. On the page header of the main report is where the date (month) is displayed, and for every month, a set of users is displayed on the sub report.

Are you saying I should create another group on the date in addition to the one I have?

Thanks.

JC
