Suppressed Page Header still shown as blank space

[BeeBear]

Hi,

Using Crystal V10.

I have a page header that I want to display on all pages except the first one.

However, when I do a conditional suppression in the select expert of the report, the page header suppresses, but there is a blank space still allowed at the bottom of the page, where the page footer would be if it was displayed.

Because of this, the first section of data moves the last 4 lines onto a second page because of the page header leaving a blank space.

I have tried an assortment of different 'underlay following section' type options on the tick boxes, but havent had any luck yet.

Basically the data I want to display on the first page with no footer is all in Group footer 2 of the report (lots of lines of data in as totals by GF2). Then on a new page, the Group footer 1 has a cross tab that displays all the remaining data.

I can if necessary move the Grp Footer 1 cross tab to the Report footer with no difference, but I still need to suppress the page footer on page 1 of the report.

Help!!

Thanks


regards

You cannot conditionally suppress in the select expert. What did you do?

Have you tried formatting the section to "suppress blank section"?

Hi,

Sorry, I meant the SECTION EXPERT.

Yes, I have the Suppress Blank Section ticked also. The page still leaves a space at the bottom for the page footer.

On the left margin (where it shows the Section Names) it doesnt show the page footer either, so its like its not there.
If I totally suppress the page footer, I can get data to go right to the bottom of the page as it should, its only where I conditionally suppress on page 1 only.

Thanks

Crystal reserves space for a page footer when using conditional suppression on the page footer, so there's nothing really you can do about that that I can think of.

Are you displaying the group details?

I was displaying a group header and footer, but not the detail level of the report.

Thanks
