Problem with Conditional Format of Currency Symbol in Group

[rmg1]

I am using CR2008 and am having problems in conditioning the currency symbol for groups.

Group1 = Sales Category (GH1 - Print this)
Group2 = Ship Date (only print dates with GF3)
Group3 = Order Number (GF3 - Print amount on this line)

I need to print the "$" symbol for the 1st Order Number of the Sales Category (skipping group 2 here completely). It also needs to print at the top of each page when a Sales Category continues on another page. For example:

Category-Date-Order#-Print $-Amount
-- A -- 1/1/13 - 1 --- $ ----- 2
-- A -- 1/8/13 - 5 --- ----- 1
-- B -- 1/2/13 - 3 --- $ ----- 4
-- B -- 1/2/13 - 4 --- ----- 6

Created 2 formulas :

Formula [highlight #FCE94F]GrpCnt[/highlight]: (This is in GF3)
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GrpCnt := GrpCnt + 1;

Formula [highlight #FCE94F]ResetGrpCnt[/highlight]: (This is in GH1 and PF)
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GrpCnt :=0;

On Amount field, I have [highlight #FCE94F]Enable Currency Symbol[/highlight]:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GrpCnt;
if GrpCnt =1 then crFixedCurrencySymbol
else crNoCurrencySymbol;

[highlight #FCE94F]One Symbol Per Page[/highlight]: box is checked

The Currency Symbol appears at the top of the page from page 2 to ending page. Why does the group code not work?

Not sure I understand. is the problem that you are not getting the $ on the first page.

I see that the variable which controls this (GrpCnt) is set to 0 in GH1 only being incremented beyond 0 in GF3. I am guessing this is the reason why the $ doesn't appear until after the first GF3 of from he next page.

Try changing {@ResetGrpCnt} formula to:

whileprintingrecords;
numbervar GrpCnt := 1;
