Subreport always keeps together

rbuser

Hi,

I've got a little problem, but can not solve it:

I have a report with one subreport in the detailband. The subreport's length
depends on the number of records of the used JIT Pipeline. Works fine.
But if the page comes to the end, the subreports data is totally reprinted
on the next page, beginning with the first record again. As a result the
number of pages is unlimited. How can I prevent the subreport from
reprinting all data on the next page instead of going on with the current
record number ? Do I need to create a group ? If so, how can I bring the
group to a break in a JIT record ?

Thanx

Joachim

You mention a JITPipeline. Is it configured as master detail using the
MasterFieldLinks and MasterDataPipeline proereties? The subreport shouldn't
reprint. If it does, then it sounds like a bad master detail configuration?
Is the deta data ordered the same as the master data coming through the
JITPipeline? RB won't automatically create a master detail ordering for you.

Make sure the master is printing correctly without a detail subreport. Then
try creating a new report which only prints data from the second
JITPipeline. This way you can verify that the main report works as it should
and that the detail report works when isloated as a main report. Then try
setting up the master detail relationship in a report which has subreport.
Also, make sure you set the subreport's PrintBehavior to be a child type
subreport and not a section style subreport.

Hi Jim,

I don't have Master Pipeline, only Detail. The thing is the following: I'm
looking for a solution for printing stringgrids with report builder for many
years. I need to assign TStringgrid to a report and don't find any solution
(why?). So I decided to create a TppStringgrid component that works like
this: Create it and assign Mainreport (TppReport) plus TStringgrid. The
components creates a JIT itsself and for each stringgrid-column a tppField
and a TppDBText. The user just adds a subreport to the Mainreport and
chooses the new created "GridJIT" as the subreports datapipeline. That's
fantastic with only the one described problem with reprinting on each new
page.

I can not try your suggestion, because I don't have any master pipeline.
Only tppReport with tppChildreport in detailband. (PrintBehavior both child
type).


Do you have a better solution ?

Thank you
Joachim

The subreport is going to generate for all the records in the JIT everytime
it gets a chance to print. If there is no master detail configuration, then
connect the main report to the JIT and don't use a subreport. That would
make the layout simpler, since the main report the way you have it now is an
empty driver for the subreport as it isn't connected to a data pipeline.
