Topic: Mutiple Page forms in Crystal Reports 2008 Posted: 08 Jun 2012 at 5:46am
I use Crystal reports 2008 to do single page forms and it works just fine
I am wondring how do you do mutiple page forms ?
For single page forms I put the actual form in MS Word format in the page header and the select underlay following sections in selection expert which works for single page forms quite well but I can not figure out how to do it for muliple page forms
As additional step how do I tell Crystal reports to tell the printer to double side the pages

You'll do the same sort of thing for multiple pages - put the format in the page header and underlay sections. Then you supress the sections - both the page header and its accompanying data sections - based on the page number. So, for your first page, you would set the suppression formula in the Section expert (do NOT check the suppress checkbox!) to "PageNumber > 1", for page 2 it would be "PageNumber <> 2". For the last section on each page, turn on "New Page After" in the Section Expert to get the page breaks where you need them.

I have been playing around with the Selection expert I figured out how to get only page to display with out page 2 on top of it
I can also get just page 2 to display depending on where I put insert new page
However I can not get page 1 followed by page 2
What am I doing wrong
I can not find any real resources that discuss using this part of the Section expert everything I found in books or on line only discusses the basic stuff not details using formulas to suppress pages ect
