Resetting Global String Variable

[adamwill]

A colleague is trying to create a report with a field to concatenate a string. In the group header there is a global stringvar ref1:=” ” statement to blank out the value and then in the detail the formula is global stringvar ref1:=ref1+<<field name>>

The problem is that on change of group the variable is not being reset and we end up with the string being constantly appended to.

I am no crystal expert and the above is from memory so the syntax may be slightly wrong.

Any help much appreciated.

you need to add whileprintingrecords; at the top of each formula. This will then reset it for you.
