Converting from RB6.03 to RB7

rbuser

Hello.

I have a problem converting my reports from RB6.03 to RB7

The report looks like this:

On a form I have a ppReport (no data-pipeline assigned)

in the report I have a pbSection subreport (no data-pipe-line assigned)

in this pbSection I have 5 subreport (pbChild) with data-piplines assigned.

The report always shows up empty. I guess that I in RB 7 can not have
this PBSection with no data-pipeline assigned to get this working? (is
this the problem)

If so how can I get this to work? (hopfully without moving all my
subreports out of the PBSection subreport....

You can verify that you are getting data though these datapipelines? Try
connecting the datasources of hte pipelines to TDBGrids on a form to see
their data.

You can have child type subreports print inside of a section subreport. If
you place a colored TppShape in the detail band of the section subreport,
does that print? Try simplifying the report to see what is causing it not to
print. What are the no data behaviors set to on the report and subreports?

It might be best if you could send us a simple example which shows the
problem (send it to support@digital-metaphors.com). I created a report with
a section subreport with child subreports inside of it and it printed
correctly. My child subreports were the only ones connected to data.

Strange... all my old report seems to work again when I rebuilded my
application (I have the report as an dll).

I have another problem though.

I do Like this.

I add a pbSection subreport.

In the detail band of this pbSection I add a pbChild.
In the pbChild I add a shape.

to the pbChild I connect a jit-pipeline that I connect to the pbChild
subreport.

Everything prints correctly except one thing.

I always get a blank first page.

I dont have any new page set on the summary of the main report or the
pbSection report.

I don't have NewPage set on the Title on any subreport either.

Why do I get the first empty Page?

I also always get a blank page at the end.
