Hi I need to add a second page to my Crystal Report, and I've not found a very good answer to my problem on this site or any others. I need to add a second page that has different headers and footers than the first page that includes my report. So the
standard solutions that I find don't help me. It is just a second page that will print that includes instructions for the first page. It doesn't include any data and has a different header and footer than the original page. Does anyone know of a good tutorial
that will help me, or an idea of how I can accomplish this?
u can do such thing using Section expert for example, if u wish that section 3 starts at the next page, right click on section 2 and go to section expert. in the common tab of section 2, u can choose " new page after " and so on. from the same menu also if
u look at the top left, it says " insert " where u can make a new section and use the arrows icons to move up and down. so if u insert a new section and u want it to appear in the new page, check the box where it says " new page before " Hope this is helpful

To add a second page, you add a section to your report and mark that to be on a new page. Then you can add the content as needed. As for ignoring the header and footer from the first page, use a conditional expression to suppress the header and footer (or
parts of each). The conditional expression could be something like: (PageNumber mod 2) = 0. This would suppress all even pages.

Yes this is helpful. Do you know of a good tutorial that can help me with this? I've looked online and haven't found anything. But, this does answer my question thank you.

I am really new to Crystal Reports, and I'm not sure how to do this? As I asked Edmund do you know of a good tutorial that could take me through steps? Thank you for your help.
Your best bet is to pick up a Crystal Reports book or possibly take a class. I've been looking at the new SAP website and I haven't been able to find some of the tutorials they had before. They may still be there, but I'm still getting use to the site.

i'll be honest with u. i am new as well to crystal reports. but the path i chose was about crystal reports in VS2005 i was told that Crystal Reports 2008 Official Guide is very comprehensive but is not for the use a beginner. also, it deals with crystal reports
as a whole, not only with the designer part or the part integrated into VS2005. i personally read " No Stress Tech Guide To Crystal Reports For Visual Studio 2005 For Beginners " and it really touches every thing u need to know about designing a report. at
the same time, it goes along with excersises. some people recommended an online book called " VS2005 crystal reports walk through " but i havent gone into it yet. hope this helps
