Master Detail Detail problem

edited June 2006 in General
hi,
i have 3 linked clientdatasets
Master - Detail - Detail

report is rather simple
main detail with subreport 1 and in het subreport another subreport 2 linked
to the detail of the detail

now subreport 1 does not print IF the datapipeline of detail 2 doesn't
contain any data
i find it not logical that the contents of a record of detail 1 do not get
printed when there is no data for detail 2

when i turn off the skipwhennodata of the datapipeline of detail 2 then all
prints well

so there isn't a real problem but i wonder why detail 1 doesn't get printed
if there is nog detail 2 data but when there is detail1 data...

tia,
marc

    Hi Marc,

    I believe in a linked environment such as yours, when SkipWhenNoRecords is
    True, it indicates that the report engine should skip to the next record of
    the master DataPipeline when no records are found in the detail
    DataPipeline. This would be the reason the master record is not appearing
    when there is no data in the detail.
