Report Overprinting Problem

rbuser

Hi there,

I have a small problem I am using Delphi 5 Enterprise with Report Builder
6.03.

I have a report that has the following bands:

Page Header
Group 1 Header
Group 2 Header
Detail Line
Group 2 Footer (Dynamic Height)
Group 1 Footer
Footer

My problem is that the group 2 footer if it is printing at the bottom of
the page it starts to overwrite the footer (is it anything to do with the
dynamic height). Is there anyway to either:

1) Stop is overwriting the footer and go to the next page.
2) Check where is it going to print and then call a page break to print on
the next page if needed.

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Justin,

This is not a know issue with ReportBuilder. Please download a trial
version of ReportBuilder 7.03 for Delphi 5 and test with that. If you still
have the issue, please send an example demonstrating this behavior in .zip
format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.

For the time being is there a way that I can check where is it going to
print and then call a page break to print? this will help me at the moment.
I will then do some tests.

Thanks,
Justin

Hi Justin,

You can use the PrintPosition of the band to determine where the band will
print. Finding the acutal height of the dynamic band could prove to be a
little more difficult. You could perhaps find the Band.Height after the
band is generated. Then using the Band.OutOfSpace property, force the
report to break a page.
