How do you force a new column?

rbuser

Hello everyone,

I am creating a two column report using Delphi 2006 and RB 10.05. The
main report has no data souce but has three sub reports in the detail
band. All sub reports and the main report is set to be two columns. I
want the third sub report to be forced to start in the next column,
which could be on the same page. How would I do that?


Thanks

Michael Eubanks

Hi Michael,

Try placing a PageBreak component after your second subreport. This should
send all the components after it in the z-order to the next column. You can
use the Send To Back/Bring To Front options in the popup menus to alter the
z-order of the components in your report.

The PageBreak component worked fine but I had to set the
ShiftRelativeTo property on all some of the components to make it work
properly:

SubReport1 -> ShiftRelativeTo = nil
SubReport2 -> ShiftRelativeTo = SubReport1
PageBreak1 -> ShiftRelativeTo = SubReport2
SubReport3 -> ShiftRelativeTo = PageBreak1



Thank You for your help,
