Variables and Groups in 6.03

rbuser

Hi,

I have 6.03, delphi 5.

I have been trying to use ppvariables and am very confused.

I can illustrate the problem with:

I started with a simple detail attach to a table.
I added a dbtext field and a variable. The on calc of
the variable I made Value:=Value+1;

Preview and it is right. It has 1, 2, 3, etc.

I put in a group based on data field the is always blank and
I change the timing for the variable to be BeforeGroupHeader
and that group.

Preview and it is now 0, 1, 2 etc. Off by one.

I tried changing the timing to GroupStart etc. They do not
work.

What am I doing wrong.

I just created a report like this using RB 7.01 and it works just fine. I
placed the variable in the group header and detail. I used both OnTraversal
timing and BeforeGroupHeader timing. The OnCalc event is
Value := Value + 1;

Can you send a demo to support@digital-metaphors.com which shows this
problem?

I used RB 7.01 in this test. Please download RB 7.01 trial edition to see
if the problem goes away with the latest version and then send us an
example. If RB 7.01 trial fixes the problem, the you'll want to upgrade
your license to RB 7.01. Order from our website www.digital-metaphors.com or
shoot an email to info@digital-metaphors.com to inquire about upgrade
pricing for your current registered license.

Hi,

I was just able to fix it by changing the timing to GroupEnd instead of
GroupStart.
I have 7.0 but have not had a chance to update.

Thank you for your help.
