Crystal reports subreport starts from half on new page
A classic Crystal Reports issue!
When a subreport starts from the middle of a page, it's usually due to the way Crystal Reports handles page breaks and layout. Here are some possible solutions to help you fix this issue:
- Set the subreport's CanGrow property: In the Subreport's properties, set the
CanGrow
property toTrue
. This allows the subreport to expand to fill the available space on the page. - Set the subreport's CanShrink property: In the Subreport's properties, set the
CanShrink
property toTrue
. This allows the subreport to shrink to fit the available space on the page. - Use the
NewPageBefore
property: In the Subreport's properties, set theNewPageBefore
property toTrue
. This will force the subreport to start on a new page. - Use the
NewPageAfter
property: In the Subreport's properties, set theNewPageAfter
property toTrue
. This will force the subreport to start on a new page after the previous section. - Check the subreport's page break settings: In the Subreport's properties, go to the
Page Break
tab and ensure that thePage Break
option is set toNone
orAfter Last Record
. This will prevent the subreport from starting in the middle of a page. - Use a page break object: Insert a page break object (e.g., a
Page Break
object) before the subreport to force a new page. - Check the main report's page break settings: Ensure that the main report's page break settings are not causing the subreport to start in the middle of a page.
- Use a custom formula to control page breaks: You can create a custom formula to control page breaks in the subreport. For example, you can use the
OnNewPage
event to check if the subreport should start on a new page. - Check for overlapping sections: If you have multiple sections in your report, ensure that they don't overlap. Overlapping sections can cause the subreport to start in the middle of a page.
- Try re-arranging the report's layout: Sometimes, re-arranging the report's layout can help resolve the issue. Try moving the subreport to a different location in the report or adjusting the report's margins.
