Crystal Reports - How to suppress a page header on

Question

I have a report where each group is about 5-7 pages long.

I need to suppress the page header on the first page of each group

How can I do this?

Answer 1

To hide the header for pages that are not page 1, you would change the Formula Editor, enter PageNumber > 1

Answer 2

Mark Bannister's suggestion is a good way to go. If you're looking for a step-by-step, here is my $0.02:

1. Open your section expert (right click on some white space, you should see it come up).

2. Go to the options for the group footer and turn on reset page numbers after. You should see the page numbers reset at the beginning of each report.

3. Also in the section expert, go to the options for the page header and click on the blue button next to the Suppress (No Drill-Down) option.

4. In the Formula Editor, enter PageNumber=1

Answer 3

Place the following code to your Crystal Report Designer. Use the same code for your page footer.

'--------for Header--------------------------------------------------
Private Sub rptPageHeader_Format(ByVal pFormattingInfo As Object)
    If PageNum.Value = 1 Then
        rptPageHeader.Suppress = True
    Else
        rptPageHeader.Suppress = False
    End If
End Sub
'-------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 4

If you have reset the page number to 1 on change of group (as mentioned in your other question), then enter the formula

PageNumber=1

in the "Suppress (No Drill-Down)" formula option in the Section Expert for the Group Header section, in the Crystal Reports Designer.
