Switching a Template while Printing

edited November 2004 in General
Is it possible to Switch the Report Template while Printing, this would be
to enable the user to have multiple Layouts within one Print-Job. The
Template should by switched on i.e. a Group-Brake.

Thanks.

    Hi Steve,

    Unfortunately once the report engine begins generating the report, there is
    no way to change the template and successfully change the output of the
    report in that instant. If you wish to change the template of a report, it
    needs to be done before the print job has started.

    Thanks Nico,

    is there any opportunity to switch to another layout, possibly by changing a
    SubReport or creating new Components dynamically?

    Hi Steve,

    Yes, you could possibly toggle the visibility of certain subreports and
    components based on the output you would like to see at given events during
    report generation.
