New Blog Posts: Merging Reports - Part 1 and Part 2

Blank page.

edited October 2003 in General
I'm doing all my reports as templates and loading them at the time of print.
I'm also using a query object to get the data needed for the report. Inside
the template I have code that will either hide or show the detail band based
on the data in certain fields in the dataset. Now if after moving through
all the records in the dataset all the detail bands have been hidden, then
what would be the best way to show a message on the blank report page. I
can't use NoDataBehaviors because there is data in the dataset.

    Hi David,

    Try using the PageStyle. Objects in the PageStyle will print behind the
    object in the bands on each page. You could put logic in your report to
    only show the PageStyle when you hide the detail band. Access the PageStyle
    by selecting Report | Page Style from the designer menu.
