Within vb.net we've got a report that works great it has it's header/footer details then then a table in the middle which repeats data and all of that is fine.
But what the client wants now is for another button named 'Print Individual' and this will print the same report but instead of the repeated data within the table for each of those rows to be a single row on a page with the same header/footer.
So for example on the first report if there is one page with 5 rows of details the 'Print Individual' report will print the same but have 5 pages and 1 row per report. If that makes sense :-)
Obviously if I can do it where we use the same report instead of maintaing two reports would be good, as the report has a lot of information on it. Any ideas?
I ended up creating a new report and using the list box tool.

4 subreports must be used within the details of the main.
Each subreport line frame was received with OLE of Excel and the number of data that I wanted to print was limited using the next page after.
When I saw the output, the first page was completely printed out as I wanted.
As you can see in the next chapter, the number of restricted data excluding Excel OLE will be printed superimposed on the top of the detail.
I just want to solve the problem of overlapping output. Please advise me.
Ah! All four subreports are in the main details. It's impossible to add details and put them in one zone.
I am still fairly new to SSRS, and I do not know what I need to/can provide as examples to help clarify my issue.
I am developing an SSRS report that accesses a NAV database and generates a report for an equipment number. My task is to generate a master report that can print multiple of those kind of reports(currently 10 max). I am using sub-reports to get the content that I need for an equipment number.
I am looking for a way to make this dynamic, where I can generate 1 to n sub-reports based on how many values were picked for the multi-value parameter. The end result should be one PDF file that contains the full report for each equipment number listed. I am trying to only use SSRS.
I have seen where I could hide sub-reports then make them visible if a condition is met, but this isn't the functionality that I am looking to use. So, what would be the best way to dynamically generate sub-reports based on a multi-value parameter?
I figured it out. I made the sub-report parameter equal no value. I made the main report with a parameter that can select multiple equipment numbers, a list, and a data set which filtered down to the appropriate equipment numbers to avoid duplication. I made the sub-report object in the main take in the cell value from the list equipment number. When the list proceeded to the next row, it copied all of the objects in the box area.
I'm a bit of a noob with crystal reports so be as detailed as possible.
I'm working with two fields in a report, "CRD_NAME", and "CREDIT_CARD_AMOUNT". I can right click the former to browse data and see the credit card types: AMEX, VISA, DISCVR, and MASTER. When I drag this field out to the report, it will only display one value (currently "AMEX").
When I place the Credit_card_amount field under this, it will properly display AMEX totals for that day. Browsing data on this field shows all of the CC totals, and I'm not sure how to associate them with a card type.
What I'm looking to accomplish, is to have CRD_NAME repeated in 4 columns, displaying the different CC types, and the correlating totals under each one. Do I need to create multiple parameters for each field and what I want it to represent?
Any clues would be much appreciated :)
Your best bet might be to create a "Cross Tab" crystal report. When you create a new crystal report, cross tab is one of the options.
I'm developing winform application using vb.net. I use crystal report in my application. Now i need to store the index of each record that is displaying in current report into database. Then i create another report which displays the index of all the records. My plan is to read the page number of each record and save them on database. I have a group field in the report. I don't know how to scan one by one record and get appropriate page number. I tried the following code to get the field value but did not work.
msgbox(rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields("name").Text)
It displayed the formula of that field.
I don't know in which order the records fetched using following.
msgbox(rpt.rows(0).item(0))
Please Help me out....
The way your question reads, it sounds like you're trying to generate an "index" for the order records appear in a report and store that index in a database for use in another report. I am not clear at all what you're trying to do with the page number.
In any case, I need to make something clear: the definition of the report (which you're accessing in your code sample) only represents where data will go when the report is formatted - it is not the actual data itself.
At the most basic level, Crystal Reports takes data out of a database and formats it nicely for you on pages. Rather than trying to take data out of a database, put it into a report, then try to read that report to put it back in a database to make another report, why not just do all your data manipulation at the database level itself before going to a report in the first place?
If you really must have that first report, the easiest option you'll have for getting at the formatted data is to export it to excel and access it programmatically through an Excel API - Crystal Reports doesn't have an API for getting at your formatted data (including things like generated page numbers, whatever you're trying to do with them).
You are trying to break few basic rules. For example a report should never change the data. The right way is to handle data processing in a stored procedure or command and to call the report in a separate process. In such way you will be able to control the data change and data visualization separately.
P.S. You probably mean "Identifier" not "Index"
I have a report consist of three tables
I need to add the first table and other texts in first page and reaming of the report in the second page
How to do that please , they all belong to the same dataset ,and the first page will be like a summary
What you could do is work with page breaks. Just put all the field you need for the summary on the report. After that I can imagine that you are going to use a table , a matrix or a list to show the datails. drag the item on the report and right click on it, select the properties. In the genaral tab you will see the page break option, select add page break before. How to: Set Page Breaks
