print position of summary band

rbuser

Hi,

We have the next situation:

We have a principal page with a foot band. We have too, a subreport with a
summary band (We need
a summary band in the subreport because we have to make some calculations).
We want that the summary band of the subrepport appears on the last page at
the same position
of the foot band in the principal page.

We are using the PrintPostion property (in the summary band), but when we
try to put the print position under
the position of the foot band appears a error message: the position is out
of printable area.

How we can do it?

Thank's for all.

It isn't going to work out of the box, because the footer band in the main
report is going to reserve space at the bottom to generate. When the
subreport goes to print, the report doesn't know that this is the last page,
until the last page is completed, which is after the subreport summary
prints. So, you'll have to shift the summary manually by setting the top
properties of the fraw commands generated as the output. Here is an example
which aligns the summary band to the bottom of the page. Use this technique
in your subreport summary. Don't forget to set print position back to zero:)

Hi Jim,

We need to modify this properties using "Calc" sheet.
We doesn't find the properties ppReport1.Summary.PrintPosRect.Top and
ppReport1.Engine.PageBottom used in the example below in this sheet.
How we can do this steps using the "calc" sheet?

Thank's for all.
