     Posted: 01 Oct 2011 at 10:22pm
My client wants invoices to print on A4 paper which is perforated halfway down the page. So on the A4 size paper it must have the original and copy on the same page. Original on the top part of the page and copy on the bottom part of the page. Once printed they separate the page at the perforation - hand the top part (original) to the customer and keep the bottom part (copy) fot their own records.
 
Thus the requirement looks like this:
 
Company logo                                                 Company Address
 
Customer name                                              ORIGINAL INV NO 12
Customer Addres
 
 
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
 
Total Excl Tax                  Sum(LineTotal)
Tax                                  Sum(Tax)
Total                               Total
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Perforation
Company logo                                                 Company Address
 
Customer name                                              COPY INV NO 12
Customer Addres
 
 
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
Item       Qty     Price   Tax     Line Total
 
Total Excl Tax                  Sum(LineTotal)
Tax                                  Sum(Tax)
Total                               Total
 
I am new to Crystal reports and have no idea as to how to approach this.
I had a look at the 'Format with multiple columns' option but it doesn't seem to be an option in this scenario.
 
Obviously if it runs over to a new page due to the length of the details section, the company details, adress and so on must repeat on the following page(s).
 
Any help will be appreciated, please.
 
Regards

Suppress all but the details section.Place everything in the details section and size it to 5 1/2 inches.Save this report.Copy it by right click and choose copy.Reopen the report and then use the section expert to create another details section and size it to 5 1/2 inches.Choose the insert sub report tool and place the copied report into the second details section as a sub report and save it.You should be good to go.For your "Original" and Copy" you can places these as a text box where appropriate so they will be correct.The same with your company logo and address.
