Page Range as Parameter? 1

[sandiclaus]

Hi,
I routinely create reports with a multi-page detail section with lots of records and then a multi-page summary section with lots of crosstabs(report footer).

Users want to be able to print the full report or just the summary but to have page numbers based on what they want to print- ie whole report Page 1-49, summary is page 45-49 so they want it to print with Page 1-4.

Is there any way to set this as a parameter and set page numbering accordingly?

I would appreciate any help/suggestions. We are using CR V10.
Thanks,
Sandi

Set up a parameter {?PrintWhat} with two options: Summary, Detail. Then go to the section expert->details->suppress->x+2 and enter:

{?PrintWhat} = "Summary"

The page numbers will automatically reflect pages 1- 4 when the detail section is suppressed.

LB, I was hoping you would pick this up. You are brilliant and of course this works perfectly. So obvious now that I see it, I can't believe I couldn't figure it out on my own.

This applies to about 40 of my reports and the users had asked me to make separate versions - so this is particularly helpful to me.

Good thing you always seem to be there as a resource. Whenever I get stuck in Crystal I search Tek-tips and most of the time you have already provided a solution.
