report with multiple unlinked datasets

rbuser

I must produce a report which will have six sections, each from a
separate dataset, and no master-detail relations.

I am confused as to how to handle this. Using subreports seems obvious,
and groups, but I'm puzzled about how to set up the groups. Can you
help?

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Groups are generally used to separate a report connected to a single
dataset into logical sections.

Since you are using different datasets for each section of the report, I
suggest using Section style subreports (one for each dataset). Start by
creating an empty report with a detail band only. Place a Section
subreport for each dataset in the detail band and design each subreport
for the data it will retrieve.

Take a look at demos 51 and 52 in the main reports demo for examples of
using Section subreports in this manner.

Nico,

Thanks. I had about come to that conclusion, but it's good to see the
demos.
