Hi Kei,
Instead of using the title band, try creating a group based on a custom
field such as a static label in the detail band. Then place your labels in
the group header and set the group to reprint group headers on subsequent… -

Hi Jorgen,
Subreports are embedded reports. When you use dbCalcs or variables, they
automatically reset when subreports get a chance to print there dataset. You
can use a variable and its OnCalc event in the detail to update a v…Hi Tefnut,
You'll have to create a tool window to set this. You can add this feature by
launching a little form from the designer by adding a new menu item. You can
use the TppDesigner.MergeMenu property to merge a new menu. You…Great.

You might try writing some code to calculated how many records there are and
therefore how much space is required.
Another option might be to use ColumnTraversal of LeftToRight rather than
TopToBottom

Hi Peter,
Subreports are a logical separation inside a report during design. When
a report is printed to paper or screen, it is separated into pages.
In my testing I was able to use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down …The report data aware controls require a field to be connceted to on the JIT
pipeline. Certainly, you can define zero fields at design time and create
fields on your JIT pipeline at runtime. This is probalby the way to go on
this one…You need field definitions in order to create a report with data fields.
This is the only way that the report engine will know how to traverse

See demo 139 for master detail JITs... I would try to avoid using
bookmarks - use RecordCount instead...
