Need "Continued on Next Page" at the end of my page...

rbuser

I need to print the phrase 'Continued on Next Page' at the bottom of a
page when the current set of instructions does not end on the current
page.

I know how to use the detail.overflow on the subsequent page to print a
'Continued from Previous Page'. That works, but is not enough. I have
a client that MUST have that phrase at the bottom of their page if the
work continues on a subsequent page.

I've been messing around with this for a while, and I'm hoping it is
something really simple that I'm just missing.

Can anyone tell me what events and or properties to set?

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Below is a link to an example that will help you with this. You can use the
DetailBand.OutOfSpace property to find out when a page break occurs.

Nico,

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. Where do I find the
OutOfSpace property in the help file? I can't seem to find it
anywhere, especially related to any band information. I can find no
mention of it. I figured if I missed that, there might be other
goodies I can read up on.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

OutOfSpace is an internal property and is not meant to be used for external
purposes, which is the reason it is not documented. In your case we knew
that it could be used for the situation you presented.

Ok. Makes sense. I'll just be sure to ask first before farting around
for two hours trying to do what you were able to give me in 5 seconds.

So let me now ask a second question-

Here is an output of our report. On the few pages where we use the
'Continued on Next Page' it currently just prints in the footer, which
is always at the very bottom. Would there be a simple way to be able
to have that label print right below the bottom line? The page doesn't
always make it to the bottom, because we require X space before we make
a new section. If you look at pages 2 and 3, you will see the
difference.

Is there a relatively simple process to place that where we want it?

FYI- ALL of our reports are coded 100% at run time. So any help
anyone could provide with that would have to be something doable in RAP.

Thanks again!

Chris,

The best way to accomplish this would be to detect where the end of the
detail band is printed and drawing the text you need below that line. You
can still use the code I sent you before to find out if you need to draw the
text or not. The following example shows how to draw lines after the detail
band is printed. Instead of lines, you would draw the text you need.

Would that apply to subreports as well?

I have two sub reports, but I'm presuming that I'm concerned where the
main detail band ends on the page??

Hi Chris,

Yes, this will work for subreports as well.
