Suppressing pageheader to use group header in subreport 1

[crystaldev1]

Hello, I'm using CR 11 and sql server 2008. This should be a simple fix but just can't get it to work correctly. I have a main report with pageheader. I also have two subreports with its own pageheader. So what I'm trying to accomplish is to suppress pageheader from the main report once the subreport is reached. In subreports, I have the pageheader in the groupheader and set it to repeat for every page. I have the sections as follows:

Main Report:

RH
PH
GH1
GH2
D
GF1
GF2
RFa
RFb (Contains subreport1)
RFc (Contains subreport2)


Thanks.

Do you have page breaks set for certain main report sections?

Should the page header show for RH_a?

-LB

Yes, I do have "New Page Before" page breaks for RFb and RFc.

I do not have RHa, just RH. And I need to show the page header for the first page which contains RH.

Sorry, I meant to say RF_a--should the page header appear on that page?

-LB

 

[crystaldev1]

Yes, the page header should appear upto RFa section. Thanks.

Then create these formulas in the field explorer->formula->new and place them in the designated sections and suppress them:

//{@false} to be placed in the Report Header:
whileprintingrecords;
booleanvar flag := false;

//{@true} to be placed in the Report Footer_b:
whileprintingrecords;
booleanvar flag := true;

Then go into the section expert->page header->suppress->x+2 and enter:

whileprintingrecords;
booleanvar flag;
flag = true; //note no colon

-LB

Worked just fine!

I tried this method earlier but I placed the @true formula in RFa instead of RFb. I thought the formula would have to be processed first before showing the subreport.
