Identifying sections dynamically

Question

Hi,
In my crystal report I have a group (say by state).  I have to show two cross tab for each group, so I have duplicated the group header.  But I have to show different page header for each crosstab.  How to acheive this.  I created a global variable and incremented it.  Since I have duplicated the header its not getting incremented.  So the value remains the same for both the group.  How to distinguish it?

If I understand it correctly, you display each crosstab in new page.
So, in each group, you have Group Header 1a (Cross tab 1) and Group Header 1b (Cross tab 2)
Have you considered printing whatever in the page header at the Group Header?
Assuming your grouping is by State
Try this:
1. At report Header, createa global variable gCount, set the value = 0
2. At Group Header 1a, put in the content in page header that you want for Cross tab 1.
put in the content in page header that you want for Cross tab 1.  In the section expert, put in a suppress formula
Whileprintingrecords
global numbervar gCount=1;
At Group Header 1a, you need to create a formula to set global variable gCount = 0, ie gCount:=0;
3. At Group Header 1b, put in the first cross tab
In section expert, put in the suppress formula as above.
4. At Group Header 1c, set the global variable gCount = 1, ie gCount:=1
5. At Group Header 1d, put in the content in page header that you want for Cross tab 2.  In the section expert, put in a suppress formula
Whileprintingrecords
global numbervar gCount=0;
6. At Group Header 1e, put in the 2nd cross tab
In section expert, put in the suppress formula as above.
