Still learning...

rbuser

Hi,

it's me again - and it seems I'm still learning how to use
ReportBuilder :-(


After getting past the problems of SubReports, I just discovered that
page breaks seem to be a real complicated thing with RB, too.

My report displays a single group header at the end of a page and the
first detail is printed on the next page.

Selecting "Report" - "Groups" and checking "Keep Group Together" does
not change anything! And - even if it did: I do not want to keep the
whole group together, it's ok if a page break appears between details
of a group - I simply do not want a group header printed as the last
Item on a page - it looks like:

[...]
Detail A
GroupFooter 1
GroupHeader 2
-------------- page break
GroupHeader 2 (continued)
Detail B
Detail C
[...]

and I'd like to have the page break before GroupHeader 2 - that means
of course it should not be printed double (continued) in this case or
after Detail B - but never(!) have it printed alone.

I'm searching for a feature like

AlwaysPrintGroupHeaderTogetherWithFirstDetailIFExists...

Is this possible with RB?

(I placed an example for this problem on
http://www.webserv1.de/temp/Report.pdf)

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

This behavior is very interesting. Setting the Group.KeepTogether to True
should force that GroupHeader to move down to the next page. If possible,
please send an example of this (ie. Delphi project) in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
