Subreport ordering

edited May 2009 in Subreports
I have 6 subreports, all set as pbSection. This allow the end user to
choose which subreports they see. It works great, until my client now wants
a new subreport #2 (second position). Adding the subreport is easy of
course, but it shows last. How do I move it to the 2nd position in the
printout? I'm certain it has to do with the order the tabs shows in the
ReportBuilder designer.

Thanks,
Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Subreport order is controlled by the z-order. You can see the current
    z-order of a report/band by using the Report Tree (View | Toolbars | Report
    Tree) in the designer. Adjust the z-order using the
    SendToBack/SendBackward, BringToFront/BringForward commands when right
    clicking over the subreport object.

    Note: Only RB 11.x includes the SendBackward and BringForward commands
    making z-order manipulation much easier.

    This worked perfectly, thanks! I tried right clicking on report tree that
    shows the subreports, thinking that they would have a Move Up/Down option.
    I would vote for that feature.

    Thanks again,
    Mike
