Simple 3-page fixed form

rbuser

I've looked at the Developer's Guide and searched these forums (via
Tamaracka) and have to think I'm overthinking.

All I need to do (Delphi 5 & RB 6, I think) is print three mainly
fixed-text pages as one report: a Fax Cover page and two contract pages.
There are a FEW variable fields but I can pass them into the procedure so
there really is no detail, DataPipeline, etc.

I've looked at Section-type subreports but aren't sure if I should place
them in the TitleBand, the Header, the Detail band, etc. or if there is an
even simpler Fixed type report I can use. I'm willing to experiment but
have to pick my battles and am posting here in the hope this question has
a simple, straightforward answer.

Thanks for any pointers.

Hello,
One idea is put one part - the cover - on the title. At the end of the title
band insert a pagebrake object. The title is only printed one time on a
printout.
Then the next (first contract) on the header. Also with a pagebreak object
and the last contract on the detail.
All this for a szenario, where your datasource only have one record.

If you have more records in a datasource and you need to print details, i
would prefer a section report. So you need a main report, which is empty and
hold only the three subreports with option section and then put your data on
each subreport. So you are more free to enhance them.

Hi Norman,

Try creating a main report containing only a Detail Band. Then place three
Section style subreports inside the detail band. Each subreport will
represent each separate page in your report.
