Special report
Hello!
I'm not quite good writing in english but I hope I'll get understood ok.
I've been using ReportBuilder for a while and I always managed to create
great professionnal reports. This tool is huge!
Here is the problem:
My boss assigned me a report to create which is quite particular. In fact,
there is two reports being printed. The thing is that those reports won't
be printed one after the other. They must be printed simultaneously. The
first report will have to be printed on the first half of the page and the
second one on the bottom of the same page. If the reports are long enough
to cover multiple pages, report 1 still must print on the top half and
report 2 on bottom half of every pages.
Hope I'm clear enough....
In fact, I say that it must each use half pages to be clearer, but in real
life it'll be 1/3 - 2/3.
Also, since this seems to be quite difficult to do (at least from my point
of view), it'd be ok to use code to get to my point but if I could have a
report entirely built using RAP functions, I'd be real happy!
Thanks alot!!

You can do this with Subreports. I recommend placing two Fixed style
subreports on your main report and sizing them to your specific needs.
Below is a small example I created as an example to get you started. Hope
this helps.
