Crystal Reports - Trying to reset page numbers based on database field instead of group

Question

The issue that I am having is that I need to update page numbers based on data in the page header. What I am trying to do is create a packing slip. All the customer and order information is in the page header. I need to reset the pages if there is more than one page for an order. Right now, I am getting the number of N of M pages, but M is the total number of pages for all orders (example 1 of 18 pages, because there are 17 orders and one order is two pages long). I want it to be 1 of 1 of there is only one order for the packing slips, but 1 of 2 if there is more than one page. Does this make sense? Any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

Assuming you are grouping by order number and starting a new page for each new order - by having checked the New Page After option in the Section Expert for the group footer - then you can check the option to Reset Page Number After in the Section Expert for the group footer.

Answer 2

Try this:

• Right Click the page footer in the left margin
• Click SECTION EXPERT
• Click the FORMULA BUTTON to the right of RESET PAGE NUMBER AFTER PageNumber = 2
