Hello again!

Another quick question-I think...

I have a report done in Crystal 9 (using an Oracle 8 ODBC driver to connect) that involves five groups...of which at least two are very large...

I have utilized a formula that will display "continued" in the group header if it is repeated...
formula:
Code:
     If InRepeatedGroupHeader then "(continued)"
I have placed this in two of the group headers and it is working great in the outermost group but not on the inner group...it displays for the inner group if the outer group is repeated even if the inner group isn't...
Does anyone know any way around this?

The header field that contains the "continued" formula is actually a text field with the group name and "continued" formula embedded.

Let me know if you need more information!
And thank you again for your help!

You might require a set of formulas to handle this.

For instance in the page header you might use something like:

If previous({table.gh2field}) = {table.gh2field} then
"GH2 contiued"
else
""
