Best way to divide a page into 3 exact sections

[Former Member]

Hi all,

what would be the eastest way to create a report that is basically divided into 3 exact sections, basically so I would be able to feed say pre-printed cheques through it ?

any thoughts / info greatly appreciated

Regards

Tim

Assuming each section of your pre-printed cheques is a separated db record/row, you can suppress all sections in your report except for the details section. You can expand the height of the detail section to properly print the top cheque section and to provide proper spacing between section breaks.

Also, Crystal Reports 2008 has a new feature for paging called "New page of N visible records" which you could set to 3 to ensure proper page breaks. This is not a requirement for your solution though, you can use any CR version since as long as you set you paper size correctly CR will properly perform a page break.

Hi,

Ok I can get the top record to always be perfect, however the following 2 records always seems print higher that the frst record, looks like i need to somehow put a spacer under the first record to allow for margins maybe ?

Hi all again,

I think Ive cracked it .. the most exact way to format what i need is to use the mailing label setup wizard, it elimates margins etc so everything is exactly where i need it ...

Cheers
