Multiple Page, Different Format

rbuser

Hi,

I need to print a multiple page report, but the first page format is not the
same as the succeeding pages. The data to be printed is saved as Oracle
Long, such that when printed, if text wont fit in the first page - it will
overflow to the next page. Can anyone show me examples and where I the
manual can I find such examples?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I would recommend placing a subreport at the beginning of your report and
using that to display the differently formatted first page.

Below are a couple examples that could help you out.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for your tips. But I still dont have a clue how to determine if
a dbmemo is already full, and if it is - to continue to another dbmemo on
the next page. Or Should I use a dbmemo?

Try using the Band.BeforePrint event to check the boolean property
DBMemo.Overflow or Band.Overflow:

if myDBMemo.Overflow then
{set font1 here}
else
{set font2 here}
