Hi folks - when we print or email a packlist the order specifications print on every page. How do I get this to only print on the first page? I'm not very Gupta savvy so any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Is an entire section repeating, or just a single field (presumably CO_LONG_DESCRIPTION)?
...If it's on a specific field, this can be accomplished by right-clicking the offending field in Gupta, click Edit Field Formula, and change the field formula to:
StrIFF(PageNumber()-1,'',CO_LONG_DESCRIPTION,'')
Note - those are two single apostrophes in succession, not quotation marks ;-)
Hi Mike,
Gupta Report Builder items (such as report lines and fields) have a Conditional Display option, where if the result of a formula is 0, the item will not print. If you set the Conditional Display option for the report line containing the order specifications to the following formula, which will return 0 if the page number minus one is not 0, that should then cause the line's contents to not print on any page other than the first page of the report:
NumberIFF( PageNumber() - 1 , 0 , 1 , 0 )

The VMIUG-TEC and VMIUGLIST Visual Manufacturing groups on Google Groups typically have more user question and answer activity than does this forum. That said, it appears that Doug Keith also supplied an answer for you, while I was putting together this response.

Doug and Charles thank you for the guidance. I tried Doug's solution first and it worked a charm! I've got a lot to learn with Gupta... Charles thank you for the Google Group recommendation, joining now!
