Hey everyone. I know this question has probably been asked and answered several times on here....but I need help. lol.
 
I am writing a report where there is a time value header that i need displayed. my problem is everytime crystal imports the time information it duplicates the other information selected to report. I have tried using suppress duplicate information and it still doesn't hide the duplicated info.
 
Here is how it is set up
 
Last Name  First Name  Txt   stop date timeval(string)
 
Everytime there is more that one entry for timeval all the other categories print again.
 
How do i fix this? Thanks for the info, I am new to crystal so please be as descriptive as possible when replying. Confused

the total is not a duplicate, as the timeval is different.  The other values are probably the same, but they are not the ones you want to suppress.  I am assuming that this occurs in the Detail section of the report.

the way that I get around this type of issue is to create a group, display the fields that you want in the group header (or footer) and suppress the details and the group footer (or header).  This way you only see the header, and there is only 1 value (it happens to be the first value that CR sees for the group, but it only 1 value).
 
Otherwise you need to filter the data out in a stored proc or view as joining to the tables in a database directly will give you the duplication.
