Printing sub reports when no data for main report

rbuser

Hi,

RB 10.08, D2007.

I have a report which contains 2 sub reports. Is it possible, via RAP or
otherwise in the end user designer, to force the sub reports to print even
when there is no data for the main report?

I'm passing the autosearch values from the main report to the two sub
reports and so they are not really dependant on the main report having
data - they just happen to be gathering some associated data for the same
date ranges.

Can anyone help please?

Regards, Paul.

Hi Paul,

Yes, you need to make sure the SkipWhenNoRecords property is set to False
for the detail pipeline of your report. This option can also be set by
double clicking on the link between two dataviews in DADE.

I should add, the subreports are not linked to the main query so I can't
link between dataviews.

Hi Paul,

In this case, you need to set the NoDataBehaviors property of the
subreport/report to ndBlankReport. This can be done in the designer using
the object inspector so there is no need to use RAP.

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately since RAP does not support sets, you will either need to set
the NoDataBehaviors in Delphi code or from the designer. Otherwise you
would need to add some custom RTTI to the TppCustomReport class to allow you
to update the NoDataBehaviors set from RAP.

I forgot, a passthru function would also work here as well.
