Crystal Reports -- a way to separate a group of sections...?
Tricky... I have a "big" report that consists of a few smaller parts... I would like to add a parameter based on I would simulate "duplex printing" - insert a blank page after the end of each part if it ends on odd page.... As if first report part end on page 3 then page 4 would have to be blank.
I have no problems doing that if page count is always the same... The problem is in page headers... I have to suppress the headers if the page is to be blank... but how do I know if the page is blank? As if the first (or second) report part creates more pages then anticipated...
Any ideas?

) I have a few groups and a few subReports on my report... Report produces minimum 7 pages and expands in 3 sections as data comes in (in main and in subs)... Full "loaded" report could be as big as 2-5 hundred pages... Logically (to me), report has 3 parts (as if "sales","profit",etc... as example). Since the report is big and complex, there are quite a few PHs as PFs... There is a parameter called "test", if 0 - everything stays normal, if 1 a blank page/new page is created at the end of a report "part" if it falls on odd page number.
The problem is that to make that blank page really "blank", I have to suppress all PHs and PFs on that page...
Now, is there a way for me to discover is that page is actually "blank" so I can suppress PHs and PFs without using (If PageNumber = ...)?

last section in each "part" of the report is set to "NEW PAGE AFTER", each following "part" starts with a small empty section conditionally setting another "NEW PAGE AFTER" to produce a "blank" page... How can I suppress PHs is I do not know what would be the page numbers of such "blank" pages?
makes sense?
makes sense?
If so you could use the conditional NEW PAGE AFTER on the GF1
PageNumber MOD 2 = 1
