Hi everybody, I am very new to CR, but am hoping to get it sorted, but have some questions.
I am trying to display/print (say 10 lines of data, then show page totals and then A textbox with a message that is the same for all pages)
 
header
lines of data (10) (with collum totals
(totals to date)
message box
Footer
 
Please can anyone point me in the right direction

Ok, yes, but I need page totals as well as totals to date.
I.E. collums totals, plus page totals from previous pages.
 
Hope this makes it clearer.
Thanks

create a formula with shared variables, this will transfer the values from page to page.  You will need to reset it manually, but it can keep the totals.  You will also need additional formulas to access the shared variables and display them on the report.

Ok thanks, you seem to know what you are talking about, is there any chance that you are able to give me an example of what you are sugesting?
I am surprised that this is not an available function in what is suposed to be a leading program in reporting. Surely others are wanting this as well, it seems such basic thing to have.

I also have another problem, I wonder if you will know the answer to this one: I have made an application (with a database) that works perfectly on my machine, but when I run it on another machine the crystal report wnats a password before opening the report. My database does not have a password set, very strange indeed. Do you have any idea what the problem maybe here?
Thanks, Chris

don't know the issue, I use disconnected recordsets, and couldn't be happier.  I would think that it might be the ODBC connection, but not really sure.
 
Formulas...
usually come in threes
1) to reset
2) to increment
3) to display the answer.
 
 
has a pretty good example, it is what I would say to do.
