Problem With A "Variable" component and it's timing

edited November 2006 in General
Hello All!

I am using version 10.03 and I am having an issue with a variable. First,
if I am in the incorrect forum, moderators just let me know and I will
repost.
I looked at the various categories and I think this falls under "general".

In my report, I have a "variable" component whose value is calculated during
"traversal". I do not have a pipeline assigned. This variable is "reset"
on "GroupStart". The problem I am having is that when the report is
previewed/run, everything looks fine....until one decides to scroll to the
last page and then back to the front, etc. When this is done, the
"variable's" value is getting recalculated everytime one changes directions
of the scroll.
In other words, if there are 10 pages in the report, and I scroll from page
1 to 10 immediately after execution, then no problem. But, if I then scroll
back to page 1 from page 10, all of the calculations are fired off again.

Can someone tell me if there is a better way to design my report, or, is
there a way to prevent this from happening?

Thanks,
Everett

    Hi Everett,

    Try setting the Report.CachePages property to True and see if that solves
    the problem.

    Hi Nico! Thanks for your reply!

    I tried setting the Report.CachePages property to true and I am getting the
    same result.;

    Do you have any other suggestions or ideas that I may be able to use?

    Hi Everett,

    For future reference, please send all attachments to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    1. Try upgrading to RB 10.04 and see if that changes the behavior. For
    upgrade instructions, please contact info@digital-metaphors.com with your
    serial number and purchasing email address.

    2. If upgrading does not help, please send a minimal example in .zip format
    that demonstrates the behavior you describe to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.
