Page with no details after SubReport

edited January 2003 in Subreports
Hi.
My company works with Delphi 4 + Report Builder 5.0.

I have a report as following:
=============================================
Group Header

Detail

Group Footer
---------subreport----------> (in group footer)
Group Header
Detail
GroupFooter
=============================================
I set the subreport as Section because I want it on a single page after it
traverses through each header. It prints the subreport correctly where I
want, however it prints 1 page with no detail information (only header!)...
What can I do to get rid of this page without details?
Thank you.
Gus.

    Place colored shapes in the bands that are empty to see if there is any
    white space which is forcing the extra page. Static height bands will print
    and occupy space on the page even if hte ere are no objects in teh band that
    print. The colored shapes should tell you if there any of these causing the
    extra page.

    Otherwise, I think I remember that there was an older bug in RB that was
    similar to this in which section subreports caused extra pages, though I
    believe it had to do with the title band of the main report. It may have
    been fixed before RB 6.03 was released, I did not find any references to
    this bug in our logs, although I do know that this is not a known issue in
    the latest version of RB 7.01. Can you download a demo of RB 6.03 for D4 and
    test it?

    I had placed shapes and on the page with no detail information, no shape is
    shown.
    If I upgrade my RB to version 6.03, will my old reports work normally? What
    about my customers' customized reports?
    Thank you very much.

    Maybe the following information can help you figure out my problem:
    I placed color shapes in all bands. What happens is on the page without
    details, the shapes from GROUP HEADER and GROUP FOOTER of the mais report
    appear overlapped.
    Thanks.

    Yes, your old reports should work as they did before. If you are using
    method calls on our library in your code for your report application, they
    should still work as well. Your customer's reports should convert with no
    problem.

    The group header and group footer shapes should not overlap. Is this easily
    reproducable in a simpler report? I can test this in RB 7 to see if it is a
    bug, and if it was, then if the problem is corrected in the latest version.
    Send a simple demo to support@digital-metaphors.com If it works in RB 7 for
    me and not in RB 6.03 for you, then you'll have to have at least Delphi 5 to
    be able to upgrade to RB 7.
