problem with print in difficult formats

edited March 2003 in General
how can the following problems be solved??



As I receive the correct transfer and/or the sum with the summation of

an amount field on each side. The transfer (sum) on the first side

always contains the first value of the second side.



As a change can be made of:

1. 1. Side of a report in portrait format, 2.Seite in the landscape format
print, no Subreport;

- 2. 1.Seite of a report duo-tone printing, 2. and 3. Side as single

pressure without Subreport;

- 3. 1. Triple (detail), 2 prints side of a report. 3. and 4. Side in each
case as control footing report group only single print



Thank you for the answer

    1. Use two different report templates. One layout should be configured to be
    a landscape layout, and the other template configured with a portrait
    layout. Load them dynamically at runtime based on the printer setup options
    that your user selects.

    2 and 3. I'm not sure what you are asking.

    Some tips: Use the Report.OnEndPage event to control the printer setup on
    the Report.Engine.Page.PrinterSetup object. See the printer and devices
    thread on our Tech-Tips newsgroup. Use subreports in a main report in order
    to help control the data which is printed per page, by using Section style
    subreports, in a configuration as shown in the main reports demo project
    #51-52.

    If all else fails, you can reorder the pages maually. Let the report
    generate pages, either the way you have them now, or by using separate
    subreports. Then pull these from an inmemory cache and send them manually to
    the printer device or screen device. Here is are a couple of examples:
