Suppressing blank data pages when using new page after

[jack91]

hi,

The way my grouping is setup I am using new page after -- which shows the right data etc.

BUT, I get some pages with no data, I have used section expert and checked suppress blank sections -- but i still see blank pages -- an way to get rid of the blank pages?

thanks

Are these groups you are suppressing? What section for the blanks? (Left-hand margin will show.)

If you have an object or subreport which is bigger than page and you hve the keep object together checked then it will go to a new page.

Similarly if in Group Options you have checked Keep group together and that group is bigger than a page you will get a blank page.

I did a google search for this issue also and I found this that worked:

------------ One of the reasons for creating a group in Crystal Reports is to have each group start on a new page.

There are several situations which can be easy to control if you understand how the section expert works with "New Page Before" or New Page After." You can use either of these properties to set page breaks, but we find it is simpler to focus on using just one of these.

If you’ve just got one level of group in your report, set your "New Page Before" on Group Header 1. To get rid of the blank first page this creates, you also need to suppress the "Report Header" section.

If you have multiple groups in your report, and you want a page break for a lower level group (e.g. Group 3), suppress the higher level group headers, and set "New Page Before" on your selected group (in this case Group 3). Depending on how often you want to see the higher level group names, you can put the Group 1 Name and Group 2 Name objects in either the Page Header or the Group 3 Header sections--.

Thanks
