	I have tried this method but unfortunately I do not have groups in my main report. I tried creating one and putting the logo in the Group Footer but this didn't work at all. What is the correct method to create two Page Footers from a Details section??

	Do you have the alternating pages now? ie some landscape some portrait? You are using the group just to control the change from landscape to portrait. You create two page footers, use the custom suppress using CurrentPageOrientation=crportrait or crlandscape

	Yes - I have 12 portrait and 5 landscape. I have created a group and an extra Page Footer (so I have Page Footer A and Page Footer B) but I still cannot change the orientation?

	in page footer A (landscape) add the custom suppress CurrentPageOrientation=crportrait in page footer B (portrait) add the custom suppress CurrentPageOrientation=crlandscape Design PageFooterB as required (for portrait view) Go to page setup and change your report to landscape Design PageFooterA as required for landscape view change page setup back to portrait view.

	Thank you for your help; it led me to a slightly different way that worked for my report without adding in a group. I created a second Report Footer (A & B) as you recommended, extended the logo size (i.e. added in white space to the left of it) so it was considered an 'over hang' and then suppressed each section using the CurrentPageOrientation function.

	Although this worked unfortunately, because there are two Page Footers (A & B), the Logo on one of the page types (Portrait or Landscape) does not appear at the bottom of the page (it floats slightly above). The sections have conditional fomatting applied but this doesn't remove the problem; is this something that can be resolved??

	Managed to figure this out... If you select 'Reserve Minimum Page Footer' on the Page Footer section in Select Expert (Not A or B) then it will only reserve the space for those needed. Reference: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/694808/Remove-Blank-Space-in-Crystal-Reports-Footer-Secti
