child sub report problem

rbuser

Hi there,

I need some help in creating a child sub report:

I have an inventory list where each item is to be displayed on one page like
some kind of register tab.
Inside there are fields for each type of information like name, type, cost
etc. And there are two "sub-lists", one a list of peripheral components and
one a list of repairs.
I want to create them as sub reports. I tried to use a child report and it
works but ALL peripheral components in the pipeline are listed not just the
ones for the current object!
In the main report I have grouped by the inventory number so that in the sub
report only those data sets that have the same number should be used. But
that seems to be false.

Furthermore, would it be possible to use a sub report with static height
instead? That would look much better on a register tab.

thx

You can use groups and the group header.footer bands to display information
about that particular group of data. If you would like to use subreports,
then create multiple datasets. You will need to connect the detail
datapipelines up to individual subreports. Create a master detail
configuration for the datasets. See the main reports demo project for some
examples and also the Developer'sGuide pdf in your installation which
describes creating master detail reports. If you want a fixed height
subreport, then set the Subreport.PrintBehavior property to pbFixed. Resixe
the subreport to occupy a specified amount of space which is given as its
height.
