Subreport behavior

edited September 2002 in General
I am trying to force a series of subreports that overflow onto new pages, to
print the title band. Here's my setup:

I have a main report and on it six child subreports. Each subreport is like
a mini-report, in other words, it has a title, detail band and summary band.
As each subreport prints, I would like the title band to be printed at the
top of the page as the footer on the bottom of the page just as if it was a
regular report.

Is this possible?? I have tried setting the newpage property of the title
band, but this prints the title band and then moves to a new page. Not what
I need.

Maybe I can write some code, but I couldnt find any easy function to force a
new page to be printed. Any clues??

    I would just set each of these reports to Section. Right-click over the
    subreport and selection "Section". Section type subreports are explained
    fully in the Developer's Guide. You can also find an example at
    (...RBuilder\Demos\Reports\dm0051)

    Tom,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, Doesnt work.

    What does work, however is to put each subreports header in a bogus group
    and have it print on each subsequent page.

    Stuff like this should be in your manual. It seems pretty common place.
