How can you create an optional title page a the start of a report?

rbuser

We are trying to create a report which contains a Title Page.

This page uses the same header as the main report but contains a Memo field
outlining the report criteria.

I've tried a sub-report but can't work out how to create a Page break and
the disable
if for the second page.

Thank in advance

Create a section style subreport that has a copy of the header in its header
band. Place it in the title band of the main report. That should do the
trick. Here is an example:

Is it posible to have the same Header in the main and Sub reports ?

If you are using section style subreports, the subreport header band will
replace the header band that would normally be printed by the main report,
since the section style subreport is more like a full report which is
embedded and has control over the entire page.

If you would like to store the header contents in one band, then you can
either use a child type subreport with its title band set to to NewPage or
you can use a dynamically loaded subreport. See the
RBuilder\Demos\EndUser\DynamicSubreportLoading directory for an example
which loads a template into a subreport which is located in the header band.
You could use this approach to load the same template into the header bands
of both the main report and the section subreport.
