Headers and footers, printed alone

rbuser

Hi;

i have a report with 3 groups bands and its detail, but some times due to
paper size, the group's headers or groups's footers are printed alone at the
end of the page (headers) or at the begining at the new page( footers),
while their detail is printed on another page.

How can i make the report to print group's headers/footers along with their
detail on the same page?

TIA

Hi,

First try adjusting the NewPageThreshold property of the group. This is the
"New Page When Less Than" option of the group dialog. If you are unable to
get the results you need using this property, take a look at the following
example on hiding an orphan group header...

Group's NewPageThreshold, seems to work perfect for now, anyway ill check
the example...

i have another question, in the report i mentioned (3 groups), some times
1st and 2nd and even 3rd group's total are exactly the same, if that's the
case, i want to print only the last total, for example:

Header group 1
Header group 2
Header group 3
A
A
A
Total Group 3 = 1000
Total Group 2 = 1000

Should be printed:

Header group 1
Header group 2
Header group 3
A
A
A

Total Group 2 = 1000


How can i do that?

Hi,

Two options...

1. Precalculate the group totals before the report is generated and set the
visibility accordingly. This would be the easiest way to go about this.

2. Place invisible LookAhead variable or DBCalc components inside the
headers and compare them before the group footers print. These LookAhead
components will calculate on the first pass of the report essentially making
the report slower.
