Repeat Group Header On Each Page 3

[johnstrang]

A Warning![/color red]
If you check the "Repeat Group Header On Each Page" box in the "Change Group" section, it also repeats any variable initialisation formulas you may have in the group header (even if they are in a separate section from the header text).

I discovered this today after spending a long time wondering why my totals were wrong.

I had the text in GH1a and the formulas in suppressed section GH1b.

To overcome the problem I had to include the formulas in the Group Footer instead, and initialise the variables in the Report Header.

Hope this will help someone!

Actually, you need to keep you initialization formulas in the group header, and add a line of code:

WhilePrintingRecords;
If Not InRepeatedGroupHeader then
Numbervar MyVar:=0

The formula has the effect of only initializing the variable on the first group header.
