Master Detail

edited May 2003 in General
I have been using Report Builder for years now, suddenly I can't get a
simple master-detail report to work - I always get only one detail-record.
Have I forgotten something ?

Using DBDemos I am trying with a simple master query select * from customer
and a detail query select * from orders where custno=:custno.

Making a report grouping on Custno and placing som fields from Orders in the
detailband only gives me on order pr. customer, surely i must have forgotten
something but what ?

Using Delphi 5 update 1 RB 6.03

    OK, I found out myself...

    Apparently I have not made any new master-detail reports after RB version
    5.5.
    I did not know that the proposed method now is subreports and I have several
    old working examples of master-detail reports which uses the now deprecated
    TppDetailband property Datapipeline, which is now totally hidden EVEN IN THE
    HELP FILE. It would have been nice to still have the property described in
    the help-file.
