Need to Duplicate the detail band in 2 sections

rbuser

I have a check printing program I need to make it print 2 stubs on the same
page. I tried using a subreport with duplicate queries and pipelines. The
subreport restarts with the first record on the second page instead of
continuing on the last record it printed.

Using XE2 with RB 15.04

Hi Perry,

If you would like to use subreports, be sure the subreport is not
connected to any data so it simply pulls data directly from the main
report's pipeline as it traverses.

Another option is to simply create a region inside the detail band with
the check information inside. If it is sized correctly, two regions
will print on each page.

Nico,

I tried the subreport method with a fixed subreport in the group header but
it only prints the first detail on each page.

Given that the query for the main report contains all of the detail, I have
a detail band to print each transaction and a group on check# to page break
when the check# changes, which band should the subreport be in?

Thanks,
Perry

Hi Perry,

If you have the group set to break (and break a page) for each check
number, you will always only get one check per page.

I suggest placing the subreport inside the detail band. If you need to
use groups, set NewPage to False so multiple groups can print on a
single page. Also be sure you have enough room to fit the subreport
plus the group header/footer on half a page.
