I have a sub report in which I need a page footer on. I know sub reports don't usually have page footers, or page headers for that matter, but I found a work around for a page header. Is there any such thing for page footers in a subreport?

Thanks
 
The standard work-round is to create a 'group' that includes everything in the subreport. This can be repeated for each page. Is this what you've done?

Also which version of Crystal?

But I don't think there is a method to mimic page footers in a subreport.

Yes that was the workaround I used to mimic page header. Couldn't find anything for page footer though....
 
The way to do this is to create two formulas:

//{@reset} to be placed in the (fake) page header:

Whileprintingrecords;
numbervar linecnt := 0;

//{@linecnt} to be placed in the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar linecnt := linecnt + 1;

Observe the line count at the bottom of the page (let's say it is 45), and then insert a detail_b section and place your page footer info in it. Then go to the section expert->detail_b->suppress and enter:

{@linecnt} <> 45

Also, go to "new page after"->x+2 and enter:

not onlastrecord and
{@linecnt} = 45
