Hi All,
I have a two issues.
In 8.5 I have a report with a page Header split into A,B,C, & D. I would like to have B & C not repeat on the next page if the details info extends beyond one page.

By the same token, how do display/print a "continued on next page" if the details section extends beyond a single page or more?

Thanks for all help!

Use a condtional suppression formula (right click the B and C header sections and place:

pagenumber <> 1

"By the same token, how do display/print a "continued on next page" if the details section extends beyond a single page or more"

Where would this be printed?

I'll assume at the detail level.

Right click the details and select insert section below.

Now drag in a text object and place it in the new details section and enter the text <continued> or whatever.

Right click the new details section and select format section and select x 2 next to suppress and enter:

pagenumber = totalpagecount

If you have groupings, this will need some modifications.

If you have groups, and you want page headers_b and _c not to appear after the first page of the group, then go to format section->page header_b->suppress and enter:

{table.groupfield} = previous(table.groupfield})

Repeat for page header_c.

I would insert a text box in the page footer and enter:

Continued on Next Page

...and then right click on the text box->format text->common->suppress->x+2 and enter:

onlastrecord or
{table.groupfield} <> next({table.groupfield})
