printing an index at the begining of the report

[Former Member]

hi, i need to create an index at the begining of the report which lists the number of the pages where groups are printed in the report.

I can create an array to keep the number of page when a grup is printed but i don't know how to print this array at the begining of the report

Actually i could use javaBean connectivity to return a resultset  at the begining of which is this index, but maybe there is a more direct and simple way to do it, using crystalReports only. is it so?

thank you a lot in advance

If you are willing to deliver the output as PDF, one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports desktop schedulers listed at http://kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html allows you to automate the process of exporting a report to PDF and adding a hyperlinked Table of Contents (based on invisible formulas you place in the report).

thank you for you reply but it is not a linked report what i need.

The final output most be printed on paper like a book is: the index before and  the real content after the index.

thank you again

Hi,

Please refer to SAP Note -1215100. That is the only way to create table of contents in CR.

The same tool mentioned above can also take care of printing the resulting pdf file (with its Table of Contents).
