Pagnation by the first letter of the last name

Hello,
I have a report that is Grouped by Cities and then Last Name.  So New York is the city and then all the customers are listed below in Ascending order starting with the first customer who last name begins with the letter A and continues thru to Z and then the next City Starts with it's customers listed A thru Z.
What I need now is to have the report put the customers on a new page when the first letter of the last name changes.  So New York will have it's cutomers with last names that start with A on page 1 and end on page 2 and New York customers with last names that start with B will start on page 3 and end on 5 and so on.  How do I achieve this?
Thanks,
Heather

So if you have a last name field, and the names are in the detail section simply do this:
1 - Go to the section expert for the detail section.
2 - Click on the X-2 button to the right of New Page Before
3 - In the formula editor use the following (with your last name field instead of my generic fieldname):
  not onfirstrecord;
  LEFT (, 1) <> PREVIOUS (LEFT(, 1))
4 - Save & close the formula and OK out of the section expert.

  • Address book when I let blank the last name?

    Hello,
    In my Address book when I let blank the last name.
    It automatically recopy the last name to the first name.
    If I delete it, it reaper a few minutes later?
    How can I avoid that?

    Sorry I forgot to write what application.  I am printing from Contacts (the address book).

  • In address book, if I try to show first name before the last name, why do only a few names change?

    Using address book on 10.7.2, when I go to "preferences" to change the display order between showing the "first name" before or after the last name, only about 25% of names will change.  The rest all stay in the same order.   Any ideas? 

    By default any outgoing email has the addresses saved in the Collected address book. You can turn this option off if you want.

  • How do I sort my address book by the last name, not the first name

    AS I created my address book the names were added randomly to the address book. When I print out the address book the names come up with first name, Last name (all in random order alphabetically). I would like them to come up with Last name, first name, email address in alphabetic order by the Last Name. How do I get them sorted corretly??

    Enable the menu in the Address Book. Then look at the options under View and Sort By.

  • How to arrange contacts in my Addess Book starting with the last name, re-doing them all at once, not individually. (I have 910 names in my Address Book).

    This is a new computer. I see that my addresses have been arranged so that they read from the first name -- i.e. Jimmy Brown comes under 'J', not 'B'. I should like to put them all so that they read from the last name, first. I can do this individually but very much hope that there is a way that I can do ALL of them in ONE go? There are 910 addresses! Thank you very much, Frederica

    First step is to set the address book to show last name and then the first.
    Open the Address Book
    Select View-Show Name As-Last, First
    Then click on the column header labeled NAME to sort on that column.

  • Forename moved to the last name field

    There is a problem with the last version of N Suite with outlook contacts. The first sync works fine, once you start a second sync, the forename (first name) is merged to the last name field on the suite AND on the Outlook side. The only way to correct it is to delete all contacts in NS suite, all contacts in the phone, all contacts in Outlook and restore the outlook contacts from a save. Then run the sync ONCE and switch it off. Going back to PC suite is the best until the issue is solved..

  • Listing my contacts by the last name

    Right now my Droid phone lists all the contacts by the first name.  It is in sync with my google email contacts that are listed by the last name.  Can I change this so the contacts are listed by last name on my Motorola Droid.  I know I can easily do a search, but I prefer scrolling down by last name.  Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Yes you can "sort" by Company Name BUT....you cannot "search" by Company Name -- when you try a search it just keeps searching in the "name" fields and does NOT return a Company Name.
    --if you know the name of the person you want to call (which you more than likely will) then searching by name is fine
    but
    --if you can't remember their name (or there are multiple names) but want to look up the company and then scroll through list of names at that company -- forget it -- I can't make it work.

  • "From" name sometimes only contains the last name

    When the from name contains a "," character the list contains only the last name. I attached a print screen. Please help me because I cant find any settings which can correct is.
    If I edit this contact in my address book and delete the "," character, the problem is the same.

    Try this information.
    The yellow star adjacent to the 'From' name in the header tells me the person is in one of your address books. it is possible that the person is in your 'Collected Addresses' address book.
    Locate the person in address book and double click on name to edit the details
    OR
    click on the 'From' header name and select 'Edit Contact' button
    then click on 'Edit Details' button
    You would have the 'First, Last, Display Name and email address completed.
    The 'Display Name' is what you see in the 'From field of the header.
    Select the option to 'Always prefer Display name over message header'
    Selecting this option shows 'Display Name' in both the list and the from header field.
    click on OK to save changes.

  • Delete the "last names" of all my contacts

    Hello

    No update will "kill your contacts" if you are syncing them to a supported address book or cloud service as intended.

  • Create a customer code using the First letter of a customer name and the last 4 digits of a phone number

    I am trying to create a form where one the customer has input their name and phone number it should grab the first letter of the customer's name and then the last 4 digits of the phone number.
    I am not very good at coding, and have VERY VERY limited background in coding. I understand a little (the basics pretty much).
    I am thinking i am not using the right expression to get what i want. Below is the statement I have write. This is just to find the first letter of the name, have an idea on how to get the phone number but i was trying the use the "left" and "right" functions but they wouldn't work. More specifically the left.
    form1.#subform[0].CustCode::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
    str = CustName;
    var a = str.substr(0, 1);
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    If more information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

    If you switch your language to FormCalc you can use the Left and Right functions, e.g.
    Concat(Left(Name,1) , Right(Phone,4))

  • Is there a setting in Contacts so I can I print mailing labels with just the last name of my contacts?

    I'd like to print mailing labels that just show the person's last name, no first names.  For example just "Smith," not John Smith.  Is there a way to do this?

  • When I click an email address to "Add to Address Book", it ends up in my Contacts with the first name in the last name box (and vice versa)

    I have seen this posted before without resolution on one of the old operating systems.  Does anyone have a solution to this.  How to we get Apple to fix this if there is no solution?
