To save paper, my reports go to a printer that prints on both sides of the page (duplex).  For most reports this is not an issue.  However, I have a new report that has Group Header #1 which needs to start on an odd numbered page each time the header information changes.  I know how to start a new page before and/or after a group, but is there a way to have Crystal skip a page if necessary in order to start each new group on an odd numbered page?  I don't want one group to end on page 3 and the next group to start on page 4.  If a group ends on an odd numbered page, I want the next group to start on the next odd numbered page.

What I assum you are looking for here is that you never start a new group on the back page of the two side page and that you always want a new group to start on a new page. Corrrect?

This should make it create a new page after the group footer only if that footer falls on an odd numbered page. If you reset the page numbers after each group it is always going to be considered page 1 regardless if it is the front or back of your paper.

 

This should work. I tested the concept and works fine in my sandbox report.

Basically this is what you have...

If your group ends on page 1,3,5,7,etc. it will start a new page after the groupfooter (your conditional new page on after GF on odd pages).

This pushes the group header to page 2,4,6,8,etc.. Since you also have new page before the group header that should move it to page 3,5,7,9,11,etc. leaving page 2 blank before it starts printing.

Hope this makes sense
