You need to link the datasets, either use TADOTable linking (MasterFields
and MasterSource) only or specify the linking relationship on the pipelines
and ordering the data yourself manually to support the data traversal such
that the … -
If you want to use master detail data pipeline linking then you have to make
sure that you do not use ADO dataset linking. Then you have to order the
detail datasets by the master linking field and the master's ORDER BY.

First, get the data linking setup correctly. Use TDBGrids connected to the
datasources. Use TTable linking to make sure you have linked data. Run the

Section style subreports print according to the ZOrder, not their position
in the band. Call SendToBakc/BringToFront to change the ZOrder. Do not place
other controls in the same band and the two section subreports. Take a look

Try simplifying the report and take the groups out of the picture. Place the
detail subreport in the detail band of the main report and see if that
works. You'll also need to be sure that the detail adataset is ordered the

Use section style subreports in a main report. This way you just have to
call Report.Print once:) The subreport which is set to section style
(PrintBehavior proprety) will print based on its ZOrder in the band, not it

If you want to use a subreport, then the best approach is to parameterize
another query and get the data once when each group footer prints. Reference
the current datapipeline's group break value to get the value to

To show summarized data on agroup, it is easier to use variables and dbCalcs
rather than trying to print a subreport over a subset of data from the main
pipeline. The calc components can be set to reset on group. The variable has

Can you reproduce this with our demo reports that have subreports? See the
main reports demo project for reports from #51 to 73.
Can you reproduce the problem using RB 7.02?
Disconnect your event handlers and then see if t… -
This is the recursive call in a routine
if (aObject is TppSubreport) then
FindTheObject(TppSubreport(aObject).Report);

Instead of calling FindUserObject, try using a report object loop where you
recursively call the find method by passing Subreport.Report as the
parameter. There is a tech-tip on this in the tech-tips newsgroup in the
code based thread… -
You'll have to find the group in the object inspector. There are TppGroup
objects, one for each group. Then you can change the name of the group that
way.

to create unique names for all your reporting components so that the event
handlers and reset groups don't become incorrect for what you want to do.Sorry, it was named this:

Yes, the OnCalc will fire twice in this scenario. However, as long as you

will be automatically restored when KeepTogether happens so that the second

Printing to a delimited text file does not support subreports. You can print
to a report emulation text file if you want to print the report to text
file. The delimited text file is designed to support a way to export the

TppVariable. This way you can assign the global's value to be the handle or

If you can count the group pages, then that should be all you need to

The group should reset the page numbers, not the subreports, as you have
described, but section style subreports are fully embedded reports and take

the subreport control to a larger height to be able to occupy more space in
