Page N Of M In Crystal Enterprise

[rb2005]

Hi All,

I have found one problem in all Crystal Reports. I have added Page N of M special field on my report. It's displaying perfect in Crystal Report but when I am trying to view this report from Crystal Enterprise I can not see that in first page but I can see in all other pages. First page is displaying like Page 1 instead of Page 1 of 450. Any one has any clue?

Thanks,
RB

I am using Crystal Report 10.5 and Crystal Enterprise 10.5

Hi,
Really..Do you mean CR10 and CE10 ( there is no 10.5 AFAIK)

rb,

This is a common behavior of the software - by it's nature -Page N of M requires a report to process in it's entirety before Crystal can show a correct number. In Crystal Enterprise - it always employs its Page On Demand functionality - allowing the user to see the first page before the report finishes processing. In Crystal Reports - Page N of M forces a third pass through the data - and makes the user wait until the report is finished before revealing the first page.

One way you might get around this when Viewing on Deamnd is to ask the users to schedule it as NOW.

This will prepare the report in it's entirety and should have the page number count.

You might also try creating it as a manual formula in CRYSTAL syntax -

"Page " + Replace (ToText (PageNumber),".00" ,"")
+ " of " + Replace (ToText (TotalPageCount),".00" ,"")


If you put it in the report footer, it should calculate in on each page (including the 1st page).
