I am new to Crystal Reports, and I'm trying to create a multipage report. The first page is populated at the top and bottom with text and data fields. The middle portion is one large text box (with border) which could contain one or more pages of data.
If the text box goes beyond what will fit on the first page, I want it to generate additional pages. The fields on the bottom of the first page should be repeated on the additional pages. Also the one-line title of the first page should be repeated at the top of the additional pages, with the words "(- contined)" added to it.
Finally, the there is a last page that has text and data fields at the top and bottom (different than the others), and one empty text box with border filling up the middle.
As for the first (and additional) pages, the large text box has a border, which should fill up all available space (central 2/3 of first page, most of additional page) in each page, regardless of how much text is in it.
I have made the top portion of the first page the report header, the title line of the additional pages in the page header (suppressed on first and last page), the footer of the first and additional pages the page footer (suppressed on last page), and the last page the report footer. However, when I preview the report, I only get the first page.
Also, there is one report parameter that is input. When I preview the page, I want it to prompt me for a value, not just insert one automatically.I've played around with it a bit, but I'm down to two problems:
I have a page footer which takes up about two inches at the bottom of the page, but is suppressed on the last page. I have a report footer which is to take up an entire page (actually, I have it less than that). When I preview the report, the page footer appears on the bottom of the report footer page, forcing the bottom few items onto a next page. The report footer would fit entirely on the page if the page footer did not appear at the bottom.
Also, I have it prompting me to type in a parameter value, but the selection is not pulling up the record from the database that matches that parameter. All the fields are blank.
