Problem with viewing the page footer when retrieve...

[jenny888]

Good Morning!

I created 2 reports, summary and detail. The summary report has the drill-down option which retrieve the detail report. Some how when the detail displayed through the drill-down the page footer only appear at the very last page and it's not even align correctly. BUT if I run the detail report (stand alone and not go through the Summary report) the page footer is perfect!

How can I fix this so that the detail report doesn't mess up when retrieving through the Summary report (drill-down)?

Thanks in advance!

The one you see at the end is from the main report, the nature of subreports is to NOT display page headers/footers.

So, the detail report isn't "messing up", you just didn't understand how the product works.

If you want page footers in the subreport, then build a faux group in the subreport that encompasses all rows (and use the group footer (with the section expert option of print at bottom of page set).

A faux group formula might be something like:

if {table.field} <> "#74538zzZ" then
1
else
0

Thanks synapsevampire. I'm a beginner in Crystal Reports so I'm not sure I know how...
