BeforeGenerate firing 2X for the same record?

rbuser

Hi,

It appears that while traversing the data the detail band's BeforeGenerate
(and BeforePrint) event fires twice for the first record on a subsequent
page. I am using RP 9.03 and D7.

I don't know if it matters but I have one group on the report. I have used
groups many times before without experiencing this issue but I can't seem to
figure out why this one report is behaving this way.

Any ideas?

Hi Shane,

This is functioning as designed. The report engine will continue to
generate details until space runs out on a page. Then, if the last detail
band cannot fit, it will regenerate on the next page essentially firing the
BeforeGenerate twice. If you are making a calculation of some sort, be sure
you are using the OnCalc event of a TppVariable. This is the only event
that is designed to only fire once per record traversal. Otherwise you will
need to manually check for the event firing more than once for each band in
code.
