How to get the summary data to print BEFORE the sub reports

edited June 2004 in General
I think this must be easy but I can't figure how to do this. I have a basic
report with one tppPipeline and one grouping. At the end of the report I
want to summarize the grouping (eg. Average days for all groups). Then I
want to have two other basic reports (composite reports--see attached gif).
The sub reports and ppDBCalc component are placed in the summary box. The
report is generated with all three reports nicely except the summary data is
printed on the last page. I can't seem to figure out how to get the summary
to be shown before the subreports. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill N

    Hi Bill,

    Items in a band are printed in the z-order they are given. You can use the
    "Send to Back" and "Bring to Front" options to change this order. These
    options are available by right clicking over any report object and selecting
    them from the popup menu. You can check the current z-order by looking at
    the Report Tree (View | Toolbars | Report Tree.. menu option in the
    designer).

    Maybe the Band type of your subreports. Did you try changing it? I think you
    can use child reports, or section I can't remember, but I think it's the way
