page total for reportBuilder 7.03

rbuser

I have two pipeline, one for header and one for detail, in main report
detail band, I place a subreport in it and assign pipeDetail as its
pipeline, in main report, I want to show page total (let's say, show in main
report footer) for the record in detail band subreport, is it possible?
if possible, how to create such a report?
I am using reportBuilder 7.03

Thx!!

Hi Kei,

There is a limitation in ReportBuilder 7.x and earlier with calculating a
page total in the Footer band when using a dynamic height detail band. One
option is to use fixed style subreports and a static height detail band in
the main report. Another is to try an upgraded version of ReportBuilder
(10.03).

If you place a TppVariable inside the detail band of the subreport, you can
use the OnCalc event to update the value of another TppVariable in the
FooterBand of the main report. Setting the visibility of the first variable
to False will prevent it from being seen when the report is printed.

"If you place a TppVariable inside the detail band of the
subreport......when the report is printed", the mentioned method is for
"fixed style subreports and a static height detail band in the main report"?

Hi Peter,

Yes, if you are using a static height detail band and a fixed style
subreport, the OnCalc event of the variable inside the detail band of the
subreport will be the proper event to use to make your calculations.
