Inserting page break and automatcally sizing first page of a report

rbuser

Hello

I have a report with a chart on it. Under this chart is space for a
subreport which is in tabular format.

For some reason I have never managed to get the header of a subreport to
display, so my column headings are outside of the subreport and in a region.
If my table has 3 rows or less, I am fine.

However, if the sub report has more than 3 lines I need the whole sub report
and the header region to be printed on the second page of the report. I.e.
I dont want some rows on page and other rows on the other page.

What is the best way to approach this?

Cheers

Paul

For a subreport set to PrintBehavior of pbChild, use the Title/Summary or
GroupHeader/GroupFooter bands. The page header/footer are not supported
because the child subreport prints on the parent's page space.

You may also want to set subreport.KeepTogether to True, based upon your
requirements.

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

You can use the detailband BeforePrint event to resize the objects in the
detail band.

You can check the DetailBand.Count property to determine how many times the
band has printed on the current page. If the value zero, then you are at the
start of the page.
