Hello,

For future reference, please post using your real name when using these
newsgroups.

Try creating a group and using the GroupFooter band to hold your subreport.
If this is a one page report, you could also try using the summary band.

Hi Enzzo,

What controls how many details are printed? In other words how are you
controlling when ReportBuilder breaks to a new page? You need to use this
information to determine when the last detail is printing and place your
subreport accordingly

Hi Nicko,

i did the report.

1 - click in report, select Footer.
2 - in the footer, put label
- Label: Auto Size True.
- Label: WordWrap: True
- Label: Width: 165;
3 - On the BeforePrint of ppMainReport i use:
- pplabel.caption := Text wich i no have ideia of how many words
have
- ppfooter.heigh := pplabel.height..

This form, i put one dynamic text inside the footer.

This not a good solution. But this is a old system (Delphi 6 and
ReportBuilder 6), and refectoring in this moment is not avaliable.
If you have a better solution, i appreciate
Thanks for the attention..,

Hi Enzzo,

The page footer band is the only static band in ReportBuilder. It's
vertical size needs to be calculated ahead of time so that amount of space
can be reserved at the bottom of each page before other bands are generated.

If you need to alter the size of this band based on a report object of
variable size, you will need to do so manually before each page generates
(similar to what you are currently doing). When you say you have a label
with "Text wich i no have ideia of how many words", where is this text
comming from? You will need to find a way to access this text before each
page starts, measure it and alter the size of the footer band accordingly to
get the effect you are after.
