Maximum length of detail band?

edited December 2011 in General
Hi Guys

Is there a maximum length for a detail band? I am trying to display around
15 images in a vertical format down the left hand side of an A4 page, with a
RichText component stretched down the right hand side of the band to contain
text relevant to the images (both contained in a region), all works as
expected with around three images but when I stretch the band down and add
more images and generate the report it just hangs.

Maybe there is another/better way of doing this?

    Hi Glenn,

    The detail band (or any band) can only take up the space of an entire
    page.

    For your report, I would suggest having your detail band large enough to
    hold one Image and one RichText. Then using a JITPipeline, assign a
    different image and RTF data for all 15 images. This will allow the
    report to break to a new page once space runs out.

    For examples of using a JITPipeline, take a look at the main reports
    demo (demos 131 - 140) for examples of how to use this feature.

    Best Regards,
