sub report title not staying with details when spread over two pages

rbuser

Hi

I have a report with several subreports on it. When on one of the records
on the subreport crosses two pages it prints the titleband on the first
page and then part of the record on the second page.

I'd like it to print the title on the second page too.

Cheers

Try setting subreport.KeepTogether to True.

I've tried this but it doesn't work.

I'm getting a group of records which will fill more than one page. If one
record happens to fall at the foot of the page it will print what ever it
can on first page and then the rest on the second page.

I'm trying to keep "whole" records together

Any ideas?

cheers

Hi Andy,

I am unclear about what you would like your report to look like. If you
have the KeepTogether property set to True for your subreports, the title
band will then move to the next page, essentially keeping the subreport
together. If then the entire subreport is too large to fit on one page, it
will have to go to the next page. Are the records printing on the next page
when there is still room left on the first page?

Hi Nico

The subreport starts on a new page. However if the subreport has a greater
number of records that will fit on one page, I end up with a split record.

Is it possible to make RB keep the entire record together, even if it means
leaving "white space" at the bottom of the page

This is what I'm getting

SR page 1

record1
name
address
address
address
_____________________________________________________
record2
name
address
address
address
____________________________________________________
record3
name
address
address
address
_____________________________________________________
record4
name
address

end SR page1

SR page 2

address
address
________________________________________________________
record5
name
address
address
address
________________________________________________________
record6
name
address
address
address
_________________________________________________________


I'd like it to do the following

SR page 1

record1
name
address
address
address
_____________________________________________________
record2
name
address
address
address
____________________________________________________
record3
name
address
address
address
_____________________________________________________

// the next record is going to cover two pages so move the whole record to
the
// next page





end SR page1

SR page 2

record4
name
address
address
address
________________________________________________________
record5
name
address
address
address
________________________________________________________
record6
name
address
address
address
_________________________________________________________



I hope this explains it better

Hi Andy,

You should be able to do this using a group with its KeepTogether property
set to True. The group should be set up to break on each record and you
should be able to still use the same subreport you already have on your
report. Below is a small example of what I'm talking about. Hope this
helps.
