A page for each record

rbuser

Hi,

I'm trying to produce a report which spits out an entire page for each
record in the main data source.

Now I could either do this by putting everything on the page into the
detail band or I could force the title/header/footer bands to print on
every page.

If I do the former, how do I force it to start a new page for each row
of the source data.

Is the latter even possible?

Any help appreciated, rather stuck atm.

Toby.

- A Report traverses the datapipeline to which it is attached and generates
a detail band for each record.

- most common approach to printing a page for each detail band is to set the
detail band height to be large enough so that only one detail band can fit
on a page.

- Another technique would be to put a PageBreak component at the bottom of a
detail band.

- if what you really want to do is generate a distinct one page report for
each record in the datapipeline, you could create a main report and remove
the header/footer so that you have only a detailband. Place a subreport in
the detail band and set subreport.PrintBehavior to pbSection. Connect the
main report to the datapipeline and leave the subreport.datapipeline
unassigned. Now the main report will generate a detail band for each record.
Each detail band will cause a section subreport to print. A section can have
its own title band, header, footer, etc.
