New page and subreports

rbuser

Hi,

I have some trouble with new page and subreports :

I have a main report with some chained child-subreports in detail band, and
I want each subreport start printing on an new page.

I've set the NewPage-property on the titleband of the subreports, and the
result was that the title was printed on the last page (as if belonging to
the previous subreport) and the detail/summary on the next page.

So I set the NewPage-property on the summaryband of the subreports. OK, that
worked, but what about the first subreport ? The detailband in the
master-report doesn't have a NewPage-property, and if I use this property on
the title of the first subreport, I get the same result is above...page 1
prints master-report + title of first subreport, page 2 continues with the
subreport detail.

I'd love any suggestions...and sorry for my english ;-)

Hi Heiko,

You might try using Section Style subreports instead of Child. Section
subreport will always start a new page by default.

But how to chain section-subreports ? There's no shift-relative-to property.

Hi,

There is no need for them to shift as they will start a new page when they
are printed.

Hi, me again ;-)


I tried something like that (multiple section subreports in a detailband)
some time ago, and most times result was a mess...mixed up bands from
several reports on one page, and stuff like that.

However, this time it worked...only one thing : How do I control the print
order ? At the moment, subreport 1 prints after subreport 2, and so on...

Cheers,

Heiko

Hi Heiko,

You can use the "Send to Back" , "Bring to Front" features of the subreport
components to change the order of how they print. To be sure the order is
correct you can take a look at the Report Tree (select View | ToolBars |
Report Tree... from the designer menu). When you send certain objects to
the front or back, you will see the order in the tree change.
