Stuck right when we started

Hi there,

just switching from QR to RB and need some help.
E.g. we have a simple DB-Table with a ID-field and
a memo.

If we put both in the detailband we are not able to
achieve following output:

Id1

memomemoemomeomemomeomoemomeo
emoemomeomeomeomeomoemomeomoemo

Id2

mememememememememeeemememememem
ememememmemeeee
ememememememem
emememem
ememem

Id3

mememe


That means to put a memo below a ordinary field.
If we tell the ID-field that it has to Shiftwithparent
it shifts, so that it is moving what we actually dont
want. But if we say Shiftwithparent = FALSE,
the memo is NOT printed ??????????

We have no idea about this behaviour, so any
clue would be appreciated.

Thank you
Axel

Place each DBText and Memo together in a Region. There should be three
regions altogether. Tell the region #2 to ShiftRelativeTo the region #1 and
Region #3 to ShiftRelativeTo #2.

Wow,

this was the fastest supportreply I ever got. Thank you very much for this.
But in fact there is a little misunderstanding. We do not have actually
3 pairs of ID and Memofields. It is simpler.

Imagine this:

One table like this :

ID : Integer
Description : Memo

That?s it.

We have a couple of datasets. Maybe 10 maybe 100, whatever....

We just want to have a simple list where the ID acts like a headline
for the memofield in the Detailband.

If the ID-Field does not shift the memos are not printed. If the
ID-Fields shiftwithparent is set to true the memos are printed,
but the Field is moving (of course).

Sorry, that I can not describe it better, but my english is not good
enough to hit the point.

Thank you very much
Axel

There should be no shifting of any kind to make this report work. All you
need to do is create a DBText for the ID and a DBMemo for the memo field.
Then set the DBText.Autosize := True and the DBMemo.Stretch = True.
