SuppressRepeatedValues and missing lines

edited September 2007 in General
Hi,

I had a problem that I solved that might come up for someone else.
I'm using RBuilder 7 with Delphi 5.

I have a report that prints a couple of columns. The first column is
a name, the second is a transaction date, third is transaction description
and finally an amount. The first column is set to SuppressRepeatedValues.
The report runs great, but once in a while it is missing the name.
It's not on every name. It's not on every dataset, just once in a while.
I got in some data that showed the problem and found what's doing it.
In the BeforePrint of the detail band there is an code that reads

If (TranDate>=StartDate) and (TranDate<=EndDate)
then Detail.Visible:=true
else Detail.Visible:=false;

If the first entry for a name set is outside the date range it does not
print the row, but the SuppressRepeatedValue is still set (I think
this might be a mistake).

Just thought it might hit someone else.

Thanks,
Joe
