Problems using subreports

rbuser

Hi,

Sorry for the cross posting, but still no answer and the problem persists:

-------------

I have the following problem, and can't find a solution, so have to ask....

Report developed totally in .RTM, to provide a receipt with original and
duplicate on the same sheet (A4).

DataSource: "SELECT * FROM PAYMENTS GROUP BY ID_EMPLOYEE"

Report (only detail band; dynamic; no datasource)
subReport (DataSource; Fixed; Traverse records)
Group On ID_EMPLOYEE

subReport (DataSource; Fixed; Traverse records)
Group On ID_EMPLOYEE

Results: Prints the upper half ok, but only prints the header on the lower
half, this on the first page, the following pages it prints on the upper the
2nd page on the lower the 1st occorrence and so on until the last page which
only prints the lower part.

Can't find way to make it right.

Hi Manual,

1. Be sure there is enough space on your page to fit both fixed style
subreports. Remember that a fixed style subreport will display the exact
size the component apears in the designer.

2. Be sure the Subreport.KeepTogether property is set to False, as well as
any groups inside of the subreports.

Thks, but that's not the problem i need to break page for every group
ocurrence and the keepTogether is disabled, and since the subreport is fixed
type it's keepTogether is disabled too. The problem seem to be the first
time the datasource break the page for the first subreport it can?t use the
first page again for the 2nd subreport.

Better there is a sample you have created to print 2 fixed subreports on a
page, i've used it but added a left join to order (the sample used only a
select to customers) and created a group with a new page on group break in
both subreport and it didn't work either.

So i would appreciate your help in trying to solve this.

Thk again for your attention

Hi Manual,

Sorry about the delay, somehow my newsreader lost your reply.

If I understand correctly you would like each subreport to break to the next
page every time the groups inside of them break, yet still print the first
and second subreports on the same page? If this is the case, you are not
going to get the effect you are after with the report layout you currently
have. If you set a group to break a page, that is exactly what it will do
inside your report, regardless if it's in a subreport or not or if there is
another subreport to print on that page. The only way I can see to possibly
achieve what you are after is to set up a master/detail relationship which
will change groups for you in the main report, printing each individual
fixed subreport for each page.
