Printing subreport when main report is blank.

rbuser

Hello,


I have a report. This report has 5 subreports. How can I show any subreport
when main report is blank.?
I'm using ReportBuilder 7.03.

On the other hand, using ReportBuilder 3.52 it was possible.



Thanks

Article: Migrating Master/Detail reports from RB 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting with RB 5.5, the data traversal logic and report engine have been
enhanced to support the new DADE linking features and to improve the ability
of subreports to handle detail data.

In the past the subreport did NOT properly honor the detail datapipeline
SkipWhenNoRecords property. Now that this deficiency has been fixed it is
causing some confusion.


To convert old reports that use subreports to print detail data:

1. Set the detail DataPipeline.SkipWhenNoRecords property to False.

When SkipWhenNoRecords is False, master records that contain no detail data
will NOT be skipped and will appear in the report.

2. Use the default NoDataBehaviors property value of [ndBlankPage].

When ChildReport.NoDataBehaviors = [ndBlankPage], the subreport will simply
exit and not print if there is no detail data.

Note: The NoDataBehaviors property was added in RB 5.52 to provide better
control over how a report/subreport behaves when there is no data.

Thanks Nard

This works well. If the subreport has gone onto a new page of my report due
to lack of space it means that I can make my graph bigger and move my legend
box down a bit

What is the best way to do this?

Cheers
