Subreport

rbuser

Hi,
I have a subreport with a data field in the detail band that I am trying to
generate but this data field does not always contain data. When there is
data, the subreport is generated without any problems, but if the data field
returns no value, the detail band is not generated, even though the
subreport itself is generated with my report.
I was wondering how to print the detail band of a subreport even though the
data field contains no data.
Thank in advance,
BMAC

Hi BMAC,

Try changing the TppSubreport.Report.NoDataBehaviors to have ndBlankReport
:= True. This is a published property and is accessable from the Delphi
Object Inspector while designing your subreport.

Thanks, this works, but not for all Subreports. Some of my subreports have
only one data field which is a DBMemo and for some reason, these do not work
the same way ... don't know why though!!!
If you have other ideas, feel free to let me know!
Thanks again,
BMAC

Hi,

In my testing (with DBMemos and DBTexts) everything seemed to work as
expected. When I linked a DBMemo to a field in a datapipeline that
contained no data, the memo field was empty but the rest of the detail band
was printed. Which version of ReportBuilder are you using? If you are
using the latest version, please send a small example in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

I am using Enterprise edition version 7.03.
I'm not sure I understand, you want me to send the *.pas file???

Could it be the SkipWhenNoRecords setting of the related datapipeline? That
caught me out.

Hi Bruce,

An example created in ReportBuilder 7.04 that I could easily run on my
machine would be ideal.

I tried that, but it still doesn't print the DetailBand, it only prints the
TitleBand. I would want it to display an empty box when there is no data so
that when I print the report, I can write in the missing info and return in
my data-entry application and enter it in the DB.
I'll keep on trying ...
