Can't be done.  What you see when a Crystal Report is viewed on the screen is what the report will print.  That's just the way it works.

This description is MUCH better than the first one, but I think that Dell is going to give you the same response. It sounds like you want to look at the report on the screen and see all the groups together and then click the Print button and have the groups separated by page. However, what you see on the screen is what gets printed on paper.

One way around this would be to create your own print button on the page. When the user clicks YOUR print button, modify the ReportDocument object and set the New Page After property to be True. That way you are actually changing the report definition prior to sending it to the printer. This property is located at ReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections(sectionname).EnableNewPageAfter.

If this is too fast for you, I just posted a response to another question that modifies a TextBox object a few hours ago. Have a look at it and then use the class definition I just showed you to modify the correct property.

It would be something like this (but I'm only typing this in off the top of my head, so you'll probably have to fix something).

Dim mySection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section
mySection = CType(myReport.ReportDefinition.Sections("Section2"), CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section)
mySection.EnableNewPageAfter = True

Change "Section2" to be whatever section you are modifying.
