edited February 2007 in Datapipelines
My report layout like this:

1) Main Header
2) Main Detail
2a) SubReport-1
2a.1) Header
2a.2) Detail
2a.3) Summary
2b) SubReport-2
2b.1) Header
2b.2) Detail
2b.3) Summary
3) Main summary

Problem:
If I put the layout like above then header 2a.1) Header and 2b) SubReport-2
....do not want to print
How to get around this problem ?
-----------
Therefore change the lay-out below,
However I have to set the Print position of 2b.2) Detail ......to equal 1
1) Main Header
2a.1) Header
2) Main Detail
2a) SubReport-1
2a.2) Detail
2a.3) Summary
2b.4) Header
2b) SubReport-2
2b.2) Detail
2b.3) Summary
3) Main summary

    Tech Tip: Subreport header/footer bands do not print for
    Child type subreports.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    For a subreport set to pbChild, the header/footer are not supported.
    A child type subreport prints on its parent's page space and
    therefore behaves more like a memo.

    Options:

    1. Use Title/Summary band.

    2. Use GroupHeader/GroupFooter. If you need to repeat the header
    when a page breaks then then you can create a group and
    set StartNewPage to True.

    Hi Max,

    The article I posted applies to all versions of ReportBuilder. The page
    header and page footer bands are not available in Child style subreports.
