General Advice

edited April 2007 in End User
I am using end user reporting in my application and it works wonderfully!

I am currently, for historical purposes, using MS Word to design and display
property templates for estate agents. For obvious reasons I would like to
move away from using MS Word and ideally use RB.

In doing so I could do with a bit of advice. Property Templates are normally
double sided A4 or A3. How can I best use RB to do this? The pipeline will
always only consist of 1 record and I would ideally like to be able to
display both pages so that the user can then assign the fields they wish to
use.

Should I perhaps use 2 subreports, one for each page?

Any advice welcomed.

    Hi Ken,

    The designer does not really have a concept of "pages" so I believe the best
    way to define each page for your users would be to create two subreports and
    have them tab back and forth between the two to assign their fields.
    Placing two section style subreports inside the detail band of a main report
    with no other bands present will give you this effect.
