Help Please - Differing Headers on subsequent pages

[Merit Solutions]

I have to produce a report where the client's main logo is on the first page of a (potentially) 3 page standard letter layout for a range of found records. The logo I have placed in a Sub Summary (Leading) part, breaking by ContactID. This ensures that the logo appears at the top of the front page of each Contact's letter. Unfortunately if the letter contents span two or three pages I need subsequent pages of each contact's letter to show a "continuation" logo which differs from the main logo on the first page. Is this possible?

How about using a Title Header (prints first page only) and then a Header (top of all subsequent pages). I don't see the need for a sub-summary here.

I thought that a Title Header would only print on the first page of my report. I need the logo to print on the first page of each group of pages as defined by the sort order and break field, the continuation logo to print on the subsequent pages of each group. Each body part stretches over a maximum of three A4 pages and is set to shrink if the content of the letter is smaller.

FM doesn't support repeating a subsummary "header" if its body breaks across a page.

Why not create these letters with a looping script? Then you could use the Title Header and Header parts.

It can be done with a calculation field in the header (or in a leading sub-summary by client). See:

Unfortunately this shows the data on the top of each page (if placed in a Header) or on the first page of each group (if placed in Sub Summary Part). I need the data to show only on those pages which are NOT the first page in each group of records. Am I misunderstanding something perhaps?

I am grouping(breaking) by clientIDs.

I dont want to create a repeating subsummary header.. that would appear on the top of each group.

I need the same Header for all pages in a group; EXCEPT each group's first page.

In other words; Clients 1-20 have a three page letter to print (sixty pages in total). On each client's pages 2 & 3 I need a header that doesn't appear on their Page One.

The idea is to show the data on ALL pages - but for the data to be different according to the type of the page.

So if, for example, you would put your logos into 2 repetitions of a global container field, you could get the correct one to display in a calculation field (result is Container) =

Get Repetition (

gLogosR ;

1 + ( ClientID = GetNthRecord ( ClientID ; Get ( RecordNumber ) - 1 ) )

)
