PrintBehaviour ppsection

rbuser

If I place a Sub-Report on a main page with the main page set to no
dataset, I can set printbehaviour to ppsection as per demo 51.

However if I place a region on the main form, then have a sub report in
the region I cannot set Pr..Be.. to ppsection.

Seems strange, I am I doing something wrong ?

Section style subreports are designed to print independently - for example
if you need to create a compound document that consists of many reports that
print as a single document.

Regions are designed to be simple containers. They are best used as
containers for labels, memos, etc. Subreports can be nested, so they can
also be used as containers in more complex situations. However, placing
section inside a child subreport does not make a lot sense to me.

Perhaps you can provide some details about the requirements for the report
you are designing. What are you trying to accomplish by placing a section
subreport inside a region?

Thanks Nard,

I am trying get around the Heading limitation in Sub Reports.
I am trying to combine a lot of RTF Text with unlinked table data with
headers. e.g.
Detail Band (no dataset) ...e demo 51I think it is
RTF1 .. Stretch
RTF2 ...Stretch and relative to RTF1
SubRep1 linked to data set A... show header and
summary total shift Relative to RTF2 value
RTF3 ...Stretch and relative to SubRep1
SunRep2 linked to data set B... show header and
summary total shift Relative to RTF3 value

Reading old newsgroup postings I can see your difficulty in Headers in
SubReports.

What are the recommended work around's ?

For a pbChild subreport try using either Title/Summary or
GroupHeader/GroupFooter rather than a page header/footer.

A pbSection starts on a new page and ends with a page break, which does not
sound like what you want.
