Reg. Traversing in Preview form

rbuser

Hi all,

I have a report, populated thru' connecting to a pipeline that gets the data
from a kbmMemTable. Inside the report,on the Detail band beforeprint, I have
a piece of code which checks for a particular field value of the current
record and prints the label values accordingly.

for eg., Onbefore print of detail band

if then
begin
Label.Caption := plDetail['Value'];
end;

The issue is that the report prints correctly and shows the data in the
correct way when traversed from the first page to last page. However, when
traversed from the last page to the first page, it seems to repeat the last
record available in dataset. (Dataset value is not directly printed but the
label is printed based on the value in the dataset).

Printing the report to the printer also prints the data in the correct
order. Only when browsing from backwards (in the preview form) shows the
data incorrectly. Any suggestions

Thanks,
Swami

Hi Swami,

Try setting the Report.CachePages property to True. This should solve the
issue.

That worked. Many thanks for the tip.

Hi,

There seems to be one more issue. If the report has say 50 pages and if
Cachepages set to True, when previewing if the user straightaway goes to the
last page and starts traversing backwards the problem seems to persist.

However, if it traversed from the first page to last page atleast once and
from then on when traversing backwards it works fine. Any further tips.

Thanks,
Swami

Hi,

Do you have a one or two pass report? If it is a one pass, try setting the
Report.PassSetting to psTwoPass and see if that helps.
