Sub report print order

rbuser

Hi

I have a complex report made up of several sub reports from templates as
well as some created in code. The particular issue I am having is with a
sub report created at run time which I want to appear at the end of the
report. The print behaviour is pbSection so I somehow need to set its
z-order but have not been able to see how to do this. Any advice
appreciated.

Hi Paul,

Section subreports are meant to be used to combine multiple reports into
a single report. When they are placed in the same band as other report
components and (child) subreports, the output is rarely the desired one.

My suggestion would be to create an empty main report with only a detail
band containing two section subreports. The first subreport will
contain your existing report and the second will contain your dynamic
section subreport.

If you are unable to do this, I suggest avoid section subreports and
just using child subreports with the ShiftRelativeTo property to
determine print order. If you need to force a new page, you can use the
TppPageBreak component which also can ShiftRelativeTo.
