Intercaling subreports ...

edited December 2002 in Subreports
Hello,

I would like to set up a report with the following format:


Page 1.
SubReport 1 (with half the info of record # 1)

Page 2.
SubReport 2 (with the other half of the info of record #1)

Page 3.
SubReport 1 (with half the info of record # 2)

Page 4.
SubReport 2 (with the other half of the info of record #2)

and so on....


Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Luis

    Do you have a single pipeline or master detail datasets? I would try to
    hook both subreports up to the same detail dataset. This way they can print
    the same records, but different fields from the same pipeline. Subreport 2
    would shift relative to subreport 1. The way it could work is that subreport
    1 needs to print one record and then subreport 2 can print. What you can do
    is setup a master detail configuration in which the master and the detail
    are based off of the same table. This will force a one to one relationship.
    The end result is that each detail dataset will contain exactly one record
    if you link on the primary key. That is how the main report engine will
    print the subreport and the subreports will print back to back and only
    print one record.
