You are setting the record count of the detail data pipelines when the main
data pipe changes record positions, in your attempt to create a master
detail relationship. You can create a master detail relationship with a JIT
pipeline a… -
It should print the second subreport. I tried reproducing the problem, but
it seems to work correctly. Here is a template that connects to DBDemos
that is configured in the way I think you have your report configured for
this case. … -
Check the SkipWhenNoRecords property of the detail datapipelines. This
controls whether or not the main report prints a record when there is no
detail data to print. Set this property set to False on your detail
datapipelines.

There is no fix for RB 6.03. You need to upgrade to ReportBuilder 7. Order
from our webpage www.digital-metaphors.com or contact
info@digital-metaphors.com for upgrade information.

You need RB 7. LeftToRight was broken in RB 6.03 and has been fixed for RB
7.

The screen preview is scaled because the screen is trying to show what the
printer can fit. Since the printer has high resolution it can fit more
content on the pages, and the screen has trouble fitting with less pixels.
What you can … -
Make sure the user has a working default printer installed, otherwise, RB
uses the screen resolution. That might be causing the problem.
Here is a dynamic subreport creation example:

I sent you the only patch for this issue. I was posting publicly in case
anyone else who may read the thread would know that there was a patch:)

Yes. The reason is that the left to right traversal was broken in 6.03 and
the fix for it in RB 7 introduced a lone bug (which has been fixed and a
patch is available to all registered RB 7 users).

I sent you a patch via email.
When one column exists in a report and left to right traversal is turned on,
it causes an AV. It has been fixed for the next release.

Usually, you should get infinite pages when no data pipeline is connected, I
was just curious if generating the first page with no event handlers and no
data would cause an AV. I have the project and will look at it today.
Data can be accessed at Delphi design time. Can you reproduce the error at
runtime without data? This would make the problem easier to debug.
Debugging Delphi design time packages is not the easiest way to debug.

It is going to be the same approach as the demo. Examine the demo. It shows
a technique that lets you perform calculations in a subreport and show them
in the main report. Does this not make sense? Yes, it is a little
confusing at …Try it without the dll approach to make sure your code isn't causing the
problem.
Then use Delphi packages instead of dlls to see if that works.
We recommend using Delphi packages over dlls. However, if you want to useIt is still a "tip." It isn't a feature in RB 7.

Terry,
The feature that you want isn't included in RB. RB is very flexible, so it
may be possible to code it outside of RB's library.

datasource. What does the data look like? If the group break value strings
are different from one record to the next, then RB breaks to a new group.You need to sort the dataset. The group on RB will not reorder the data for
you. The group in the report is used to set the group breaks when the
datafield changes value while the data is being traversed by the report.

Use section style subreports in a main report. Are the data pipelines

problem goes away.
