Crystal reports variable page breaks.
Crystal reports 2011 Version 14.0.4.738 RTM
I need to control the use of page breaks in Crystal Reports. The problem is that the vertical size of a group varies on the amount of data in the group. The group contains multiple sub reports. On some pages more than one group can be printed on a single page. If a group cannot be printed on the page it moves to the next page. If a group is large than a page it will print on multiple pages. The problem occurs when a large group prints on multiple pages, I need the next group to start on a new page. I do not want all groups to print on a new page.
The print size or line height varies on the report so counting lines is not reasonable.
How do I accomplish this ?

Might work. I don't know what will work so I plan on trying a couple of ideas to track that it is multiple pages.
ONe thing that will come close is to set the NEW PAGE AFTER in the group footer

This solution of tracking the current page number worked.
You need to track the pages a group takes and there is no easy way to do that. I will try a couple of things
Can you upload the report so I don't have to build an artificial report and data to test with?
