SubReport not Printing

rbuser

Hi All,

I have a report that I'm porting from one application to another. The
report has two subreports on the detail band. The first subreport
isn't printing but the 2nd is. The 2nd one has a ShiftRelativeTo set
to the first. I've compared all the settings I can think of between
the two applications and I can't figure out what I'm missing. Can
anyone give me some ideas about what settings would prevent a
subreport from printing?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

1. Check that the subreport is connected to a DataPipeline and that the
DataPipeline is correctly connected to valid data in your dataset.

2. If you are creating a Master\Detail report, be sure you are linking on
the correct field and that your detail dataset is ordered on that field.

3. Be sure the Subreport component is visible and set to be a Child
Subreport.

Thanks Nico,

The DataPipelines are connected. The master pipeline is connected to
the TppReport Object, the 2 detail pipelines are connected to the two
sub reports which reside on the detail band. There is one group that
is keyed on the primary key of the master table.

The primary key for the master table is the masterfields property of
the two detail tables. All three tables (master and both details) are
ordered with the same field that is the masterfields property.

Both subreports are of type pbChild.

What else should I look for? Would it help if I sent you an RTM file?

Hi Steve,

Have you ever been able to see data from this subreport? Are you sure this
master\detail relationship is infact returning any data? If you create a
simple example consisting of a main report , subreport and two datapipelines
linked in the same master/detail relationship as the one in your main app,
are you able to see any data? As a test, try placing a static shape or
label inside the subreport and then set its NoDataBehaivors to
ndBlankReport. If the shape shows up without any data, this means that the
query is returning no data.

That was it! Thank you very much. I was populating the key field in
one of the detail tables with the wrong value.
