Limitation on the size of a detail band?

rbuser

Is there a limitation on the size of a detail band?

I am trying to create a report at runtime that has no database controls
or piplines, just labels and checkboxes. The report could be from 1 to
20 pages long, which would be about 18000 screen pixels. The definition
of the report (if i save it to a rtm file) looks fine, i can see all of
the controls ect, but when i preview or print the report the first 2
pages look fine, then you lose half a page, then another page prints and
you lose some more text etc.
On the third page you can see some of the missing text up in the gray
area around the preview window.

Am I trying to go beyond Report Builders capabilities?

I am using Delphi 6 and RB 6.0.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard:

Are you using sub reports to create your report? What is the strucutre--do
you have a very long detail band?

Wow. Break it into sub reports. This will make life a bit easier. I was not
aware that a detail band could be more then the page length (I am sure I got
an exception on this).

A static height detail band's height cannot exceed the page height. You
could use a section style subreports to print a single page. Each subreport
will only represent a single page.
