RB6.03 Enterprise HowTo

edited February 2004 in General
Hello All:

We use RB 6.03 with Delphi 5 and need to add some info from a child
table into our report.

We have a 4 inch box that we would like to place the detail records into
from the child table. However, we do not want the right side of the detail
band to get distorted. It should be as below:

If we use a Subreport - can we get the below effect ???

Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Neil,

    Unfortunately the archetecture of ReportBuilder does not allow this type of
    report to be made. In order for this to work, the detail band would need to
    be able to merge with the output of the subreport and there would need to be
    a sence of a ShiftHorizontalTo porperty. The closest thing I could get to
    was the following...

    The only thing I can think of to get around this would be to traverse the
    data manually, and then inserting the values in as Labels or in a TppMemo.
