Many Crystal course books will have a lesson on printing a “Continued” message whenever a group takes up more than one page. This message usually prints at the top of each page in the group, except the first. But below is a different approach. It prints “Continued on the next page” at the bottom of pages when a group is going to go beyond the current page. There are actually several ways to do this, but the one that works in almost all situations is below. It uses 3 formulas, and these can be cut and pasted into your report:
The first formula goes on the Group Header (and can be suppressed):
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar Continued:= True
The second formula goes on the Group Footer (and can be suppressed):
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar Continued:= False
The third formula goes on the page footer:
WhilePrintingRecords;
BooleanVar Continued;
if Continued
then "Group continues on next page"
else ""
