Page footer prints while full-page Report footer is printing

My report has a page footer to be printed at the bottom of each page, and a full-page report footer to be printed at the end of the report. All works OK except that the page footer prints while the report footer is printing, causing unwanted and confusing text on the report footer page and continuation of the report footer to the next page. Using conditional suppression of the page footer has no effect.

I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008.

Hi John,

If you go to the section expert, select the page footer section then click the Conditional Formula button (X+2) beside the Suppress (No Drill-Down) option you can enter in the following formula which will hide the section on the last page:

PageNumber = TotalPageCount

Kind Regards,

Trevor,

Thanks for the try, but it doesn't work. I saw this in several other places and it was the first thing I tried. What happens is that the page footer indeed doesn't print; but it leaves a blank space that is the same size as the footer, making my full-page report footer continue on to the next page.

From everything I've read, Crystal Reports for Visual Studio is designed so that it prints the page footer (if one is present) on the report footer. This is completely counter-intuitive to me, as the report footer should happen after all the pages are finished. Microsoft Access, which I believe uses an old version of Crystal Reports, does not work this way - the report footer prints after all pages are finished, and with no embedded page footers.

I guess I'll just print the footer page, which in this case is an instructions page with no data, as a separate report after the data report is finished...

Hi John,

The bundled version of Crystal in Visual Studio 2008 is based on version 10 of our software. This may indeed be the way that version functions. Crystal Reports 2008 full (Version 12) does not have this behaviour. Testing internally CR 2008 does not leave space for the suppressed footer.
