SubReport-Title

rbuser

Hello!

I have a small Report with a Detailband and a Two subreports (with the
same DatapipeLine)
In Subreport1 I do with RAP
Detail.Visible := Copy(Vormerkungen['VM_GFNR'],1,2) = 'AB';
and in Subreport2
Detail.Visible := Copy(Vormerkungen['VM_GFNR'],1,2) <> 'AB';

Everything fine, but I wrote a Header in the Title-Band of the
Subreport and this is ALWAYS printing. Now I would like to only print
this band when at least one Detail is visible.

How can I make this (the same problem with the summary).

Can you explain further. Is this a master/detail report. Are the subreport's
set to pbSection or pbChild. Which subreport has the title - both of them?

Have you considered creating separate queries for each subreport. The
queries could contain only the relevant records.

I think to determine when at least one detail will be visible you need to do
some create a summary query or perform some summary calculations prior to
generating the report.

It is Master/Detail

and yes, both Subreports have their own title


This will be the last solution.


I would prefer, that no title/summary will be printed when no Detail is
printed . I tried to set the Title.Visible in the Detail.BeforePrint but
there it seams to be too late.

1. If each subreport were connected to a query that contained only the
relevant records, then by default the subreports would not print when there
are no related detail records.

2. With the current data configuration you need to know in the main report's
DetailBand BeforePrint event, whether there are any records for the
subreport so that you can set the SubReport.Visible property. Its a timing
problem. The only two solutions I can think of are:

a. Add a couple of calculated fields to the master data that indicate how
many detail records exist for each master record.

b. Pre-process the data to count the number of detail records that exist for
each master.
