Page footer in child subreport
Hi,
I would need a page footer in a child subreport. I am using RB 11.05
with D7.
I've seen from previous messages that this is not supported.
I tried using summary band and it works but there is a small problem:
the summary band gets printed very close to the last line of the detail.
I would need it at the bottom of the page.
Is there any smart/quick way to force it to the bottom ?
(i am thinking about placing every detail data in a memo and force the
memo to the heigth of the page, or moving the band by rap but i don't
know if this could work and it is quite complicated anyway..)
Thanks
Bye
Nicola

For ReportBuilder 11 we added the SummaryBand.AlignToBottom property.

Hi Nico,
I've seen the property but it seems disabled ..
I click but it doesn't get checked ...
Is there anything that could inibit this ?
In my summary I've putted an image and I have printheight static (I've
tried dynamic but the AllignToBottom is still disabled) ...
Thanks
I apologize, I somehow missed that you were in a subreport
The concept of the "bottom of a page" does not exist in a child style
subreport. These subreports are meant to flow across pages and begin part
way through a page. If you would like each subreport to be separated by
pages, I suggest you use a section style subreport instead.

to child after seeing this problem:
in section style subreport it seems that the property "ShiftRelativeTo"
is disabled ...
In the main report I have several other child subreports and objects
(pagebreak and so on).
I need that this subreport goes in a specific position but I don't
know how to force it with section style..
If you can tell me how to achieve this I think I can switch again to
section style .
Thanks

The printing order for a section style subreport is determined by the
z-order rather than ShiftRelativeTo. As before, since a section style
subreport begins and ends on its own page, there is no need for a shift
concept.
You can adjust the z-order by using the BringForward and SendBackward
functions.

The problem is that this section style subreport should stay
in a precise position in a sequence of child style, like this:
subreportchild1
subreportchild2
subreportchild3
sectionstyle1
subreportchild4
the child4 must be exactly after the section1 which must be exactly
after child3...
How can I specify this sequence with z-order commands ?
In this case I would recommend only using section style subreports in the
main report. Something like the following...
SectionSubreport1
Contains Child1, Child2, Child3
SectionSubreport2
SectionSubreport3
Contains Child4

Is it possible to cut and paste a subreport ?
If so I would use this tecnique to transform the report in this way.
Yes (+x, +v)
