Repeating Group Footer

edited December 2003 in General
Hello,

Is there any thing you can think of which might cause a group footer to be
repeated at the top of the subsequent page?

ReportBuilder 7

Thank you,

    Hello again,

    Upon further examination it appears that this is happening. The outermost
    group footer band(G1) is not entirely fitting at the bottom of the first
    page. What then happens is, on the next page, the outermost group footer
    band (G1) and additionally, the previous footer (G2) band are being printed.
    What I am wondering is, that if the G1 footer will not entirely fit on page
    1, I would think it would just print on page 2. Not partially on the first
    page, and then in its entirety on the next page?

    Any help,
    Michael Malinowski

    Hi Michael,

    In my testing, I am unable to recreate this issue. The group footer should
    completely move to the next page when there is not enough room on a page.
    As a test, try disconnecting all your event hanlders and see if that makes a
    difference in the report output.
    If you still get this behavior, please send a small example demonstrating
    this in zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com.

    Nico,

    Thank you very much for your reply. It was in fact due to an event handler
    function. I was using a "look ahead" method based on a zipped demo
    "UseLookAheadValueInCalc.zip". I was using it to conditionally print a line
    divider based on the count of items in each group.

    It worked initially. Unfortunately, with different data it exhibited this
    problem. I handled it differently.

    Thank you, Michael
