Are you using RB 6.03? Can you test with RB 7? Subreports should work just
fine Are you changing the dataset while the report is running? Are you
moving the record position? Can you remove the event handlers and retest

Tech Tip: Subreport header/footer bands do not print for
Child type subreports.
------------------------------------------------------------------
When a subreport gets a chance to print, it prints a titleband and
continuues generating until it is finished. It will only reprint the
titleband when it get another turn to print when another detail prints for
the main report.
<…You want to move a summary band to the bottom of the page? You should be
able to do this with the print position, if it is a static height control.
Otherwise, if it is static height, you can position it on the fly using draw
commands.…Do you have any empty bands or dynamic height bands? There is whitespace in
a band that the engine thinks it needs to print because you have it as part
of the layout. Add different colored shapes to the bands to see which band

the main report is printing the header band and the child reports print like
a memo inside the main report.

Are you saying you built a single dataview by joining the two tables
together and using a group in the report instead of a subreport to print the
data? This should work as an alternative.
The SQL that RB generates can be placed …Each database can sort the data differently. Some use ASCII and others use
ANSI string comparison. Try changing the CollationType property on the
DataSettings property of the designer.

if it prints.
One way to verify that the data is there is to place use data ac…Do you have a single pipeline or master detail datasets? I would try to

Use two variables in the group 2 footer band. Then use a variable in each
subreport to calculate an increment. In the subreport's variable's OnCalc
event handlers, update the value in the group footer variables. The group
footer vari…You'll have to use the TdaSQL interface methods and properties without
editing the SQL text directly on the master dataview's SQL object, which
will break the linking capability. Here is an example of extracting the SQL

Why do you think templates are bad for you?
I would use templates and steer away from form inheritance. You can't mix
them either. Templates are how you would approach copying a subreport. There

Happy Hollidays,
Subreports are full reports embedded in a report. So, when they finish
printing, they reset. When this happens, all the variables and calcs in them
are reset. So, you'll have to get hte values out of them before…Add ppTypes to the uses clause.

Try testing with RB 7 trial edition to see if the problem goes away. You can
also send us a simple example RB 7 project that we can run and see if we can
find out what the problem is. Send it to support@digital-metaphors.comIf you set KeepTogether = true on the subreport component and KeepTogether =
true on the inner group of the at subreport, it should support this. What
version of RB are you using?
