Printing on reverse of page

[George99]

Hi all - help please

I built a report that prints customer invoices. It worked fine. Multiple pages per customer etc etc.

Then the goalposts moved. The client wanted to have his terms and conditions printed onto the back of each page.

There are no natural groupings that identify new page. A new customer obviously starts on a new page but one customer may have multiple pages.

I tried to 'fool' Crystal (v 8.5) and put the terms (as a single bitmap) into the page footer. Once I had manipulated the page footer size I got this to work reasonably well (but not well enough). If the page footer was too long then I got the overflow error because the page length was too large. If the page footer was too short then individual transactions were printed at the top of the page instead of always on the 'front' page.

I haven't as yet managed to get exactly the right depth of page.

Is there another way to print the same item on the back of each page?

Thanks

You could create a page header section containing this information, resize this section so that it covers a full page.

Then conditionally suppress the section to only print on even pages.

Remainder(PageNumber,2) <> 0
