Print Order of SubReports

rbuser

Hi

I have a report which contains several subreports. the first subreport (a
graph) is pbChild the rest are pbSection. I want to print the graph on the
first page, immediately after the report title band. The rest of the
subreports are tables which should each start on a new page.

The problem is this: When I print my report the graph subreport is always
printed last. despite it being created (dynamically in code) first. I then
have a title and the rest of the page is blank which doesn't look good.

Can anyone help?

Hi Susie,

When ReportBuilder sees a section style subreport, it automatically breaks a
page and prints the subreport on a new page. For this reason, it is never a
good idea to place a child subreport and a section subrepor in the same
band. I would suggest creating a group based on a static label and placing
the child subreport inside the group header.

Hi Nico,

I've done that. I put my graph subreport in the header band and the rest of
the subreports in the group header band grouping on a static label. After a
few initial difficulties, I now have a situation where the graph prints out
on Page 1 as required, the rest of the subreports print OK and then, the
graph prints out again on the last page which is a problem.

Why is this happening. Surely it shouldn't be too big a deal to print out a
number of subreports, once each and in the correct order?

Do you have a different solution to this problem that I can try?
best regards
Susie

Hi Susie,

Be sure you do not have the "Reprint group headers on subsequent pages"
option checked for your group.

Hi Nico,

It's not set. Anything else I can try?

This is interesting... Please send an example of this behavior in .zip
format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
