Repeat Group Header On Each Page" option

[harding1031]

When I select this option in Group Expert, my manual formulas are reset because I inialize these for each new group. I was able to get around it by setting a manual switch for each new group. Was there any other way to get around this, also, where can I get some information about the how a crystal report executes. For instance, if I have two formulas in the the group footer, which one will execute first. TIA.

Use the InRepeatedGroupHeader function in your manual formulas to reset your variables.

if not InRepeatedGroupHeader then
myVar := 0;

You'd do better using Running Totals. Right-click on a field and choose Insert to get a choice of Running Total, Summary and Grand Total.. Or else use the Field Explorer, the icon that is a grid-like box.

It helps to give your Crystal version, since newer versions have extra options, and some extra problems. I use Crystal 8.5.

Another option would be to add a section to your group footers and reset your variables there. You can suppress the new section and the variables will still reset.
