Hi guys,

Im working on a project with crystal reports, the datasource of the crystal reports is an xml file and in the design view of the crystal reports i drag and dropped the data from the datasource to the detail section. The problem is there are too many data in the detail view so it doesn't display anything in the report preview, when i tried to display only a few data it works fine, my guess would be that all of the data won't fit in one page. I already did some research and found some grouping scheme and stuff but in my case drag and drop is more preferable because i want to format the report. Is there anyway to do this without grouping? Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

To show 30 records per page, do the following:
1. Open the report in Design View
2. Right click on the Details section and select Section Expert
3. Make sure the Details section is selected in the Section Expert dialog box. Check the box New Page After
4. Click the formula editor button to the right of the checkbox.
5. Enter the following formula: If Remainder (RecordNumber, 30) = 0 Then True Else False
6. Click Save, Close and then click OK.

hello losmac, hi guys,

i saw two checkboxes under the paging tab of the details section new page after, namely: "end of section" and "visible records". i only checked one which is the end of section and in the formula editor i pasted the code you posted above and i think im doing it wrong because i'm not getting the results i wanted. I also tried doing it with the other checkbox and having the 2 of them checked and still no luck. Do i have to edit something here like this or how is it done? Thanks for being patient.

if recordnumber = 15 then
display only 5 records per page which makes it 3 pages.
