keep regions together

rbuser

I have 3 regions on the detailband. Each has some labels and date fields.
How can I keep all regions together printing on the same page? Region2 is
directly below Region1 and Region3 is directly below Region2. All 3 regions
have parentwidth=true.

Thanks

Chris,
what do you mean?
is region 1 overwriting region2?
if that is the case then you should play with ShiftRelativeTo

You can put all three regions into a subreport and enable KeepTogether on
the subreport. You can also create a custom group which breaks on every
detail and set the group to keep together. However, is there a reason that
the content is broken up among three separate regions? The concept of the
region is to keep content together. Is there a reason you can't simply place
everything in a single region?

I set up 3 regions so that users can select which region(s) to print.
My report is a customer listing.
I have the company address, city, state, zip on region1, contact, phone #,
fax #, sls, terms ..... on region2 and account balance, last sale .... on
region3 but I do not want the regions to print on separate page for the same
customer.

Thanks

Ok. In that case try the methods I mentioned. Either one should let you
accomplish what you are trying to do.

I created a subreport but when I tried, the report printed out 6 pages with
6 records on each page. What do I do ?

thanks

Make sure you are not hooking up a pipeline to the subreport. That is,
you're not strictly using the subreport for it's intended purpose and it
will not be traversing any data. We're just using the subreport as a
placeholder to keep data together. Just drop a subreport in the detail band,
make sure it is set to Child and that it says 'No Data Pipeline Assigne'.
Then just place the three regions into the subreport. Lastly enable
KeepTogether on the subreport.
