Multi pages wide without multi subreports

rbuser

Is there was a way for a report to print pages that are wider then the
page width, with the extra would print on a second page, without having to
use multiple subreports?

Hi Stef,

The best way to print a report wider than a page is to use subreports
similar to the SpreadSheet Style example...

This is necessary to reorder the pages so you will get the effect of the
wide report printing on the next page.

Why are you unable to use subreports?

I have tried to look at that example but could not get it to work. I do
not want to use subreports because there may not always be data for the
second page and I only want to print the second page if there will be data
there.

Hi Stef,

Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? In my testing with RB 10.07,
the SpreadSheetStyle example worked as expected. If there is not data for
the second subreport, it would be possible to simply toggle the visibility
of it to prevent the printing of a blank page.

I'm using RB 9.03. Thank you for your help but I ended up formatting my
report differently to avoid the problem with it going on to a second page.
