Topic: Page headers/Subreports Posted: 06 Jan 2009 at 10:33am
Hi
I have a main report containing 2 sub reports, I want to create Page Headers within the sub reports - which is not standard. Alternatively can I suppress Page Headers in the main report dependent on which Group Header is being printed? I can't work out how to do this. I basically need to have different (or blank) Page Headings depending which subreport is showing, but they are variable in length.

The trick for getting page headers in subreports is to create a fake group in the subreport (you could make it be an empty string) and use it's group header as the page header. You can make it print on every page.
You can also suppress page headers based on the group by using the conditional formula for the Suppress property and basing it on the group field.
I cover subreport tricks and tips like this in my CR Encyclopedia book. You can find out more about my books at Amazon.com or reading the Crystal Reports eBooks online.
