Groups sorting.

rbuser

Hi all.

FYI: Delphi 7 / RB 9.02

I have created an end user application (from RB demos) but my need is in a
report I need to create and need some orientation. The good thing is that
this report is created from a previous one which works really good. The bad
thing is that this new report needs some modifications.

Unfortunately I can't use the detail band to show data because I need to
debug the data while it is retrieved from the database and then in a group
print the summary of those fields.
So my issues are:

1. Only show 100 customers per Item Group. Item Group is in a group and
Customers should be in a subgroup.

2. Sort the customers descending by a variable object in the design area of
my application.

Maybe I'm not working the right way. I feel a little bit confused about how
to acomplish this task.

I'd appreciate any help from you guys.

Thanks a lot.

Fabio.

Hi Fabio,

The use of the detail band is almost necessary in order to display data
without having to traverse your data manually. I'm a bit unclear about what
you mean by "debug the data while it is retrieved". If you need to filter
the data from your dataset, you can do so on the fly using AutoSearch.

Perhaps a little better explaination of what your data looks like and what
exactly you would like your report to look like would clear things up and I
can give you a recomendation on what should be done.
