Can you detect what band you are printing

rbuser

Hi,

Is there a way to tell if I am printing the summary band
from inside the OnStartPage event? I have code in
the OnStartPage to set the Bin and I would like to be
able to set the bin if we are printing the summary page
(new page of the summary is set to true)

I have tried to set the bin in the BeforePrint of the
summary but this causes the page before the summary
to go to that bin too

Thanks,
Joseph Gordon

Hi Joseph,

The easiest way to accomplish this would be to place a section style
subreport inside the summary band, with its printer settings set to print to
a different bin. If this will not work, you can check which band you are
currently generating by using the Report.Engine.CurrentBand property.

Hi,

I had tried the CurrentBand but inside the OnStartPage it was alway nil.
I have gotten something to work. I put a BeforePrint hooked to the summary
band. In that event I store off the Absolute page number in a temporary
value if it has not yet been set ( I preset this temporary value to 999999)
and in the OnStartPage I check to see if the current absolute page is
greater
than the temporary value then I set its bin otherwise I set the otheres.

I will try the printer settings since this seems simpler.

Thanks,
