JIM- WIDE ?? Why Not ?

rbuser

Jim,

Because the ReportBuilder is not capable of printing a report that has more
columns (WIDE) than can fit on a single page, we are forced to hand code the
report.

Consequently, we are building the pages by hand......
We are not using the DetailBand stuff as it does not allow us the
flexibility
we need.

When the data will need to be displayed WIDER than the one page, we need
to FORCE a PAGINATION so we can hand code the page header info, the column
header info and the rows of data.

But we can see no command that allows us to create another blank page to
write
to so we can overcome the deficiencies in the ReportBuilder.

Something like. "report.newpage;"

Any help you can provide us will be greatly appreciated. We are surprised at
the
lack of manual commands available to us with ReportBuilder, unless I have
overlooked them.

Hope to see you at BorCon again this year.

Use the Report.DetailBand.PrintCount property.

You may want to create a section style subreport (Subeport.PrintBehavior :=
pbSection), one for each page that you want show which breaks over multiple
pages. The section style subreport forces a page break and can provide you
with a PageStyle band to generate onto.

There is also a demo which shows how to create a spread sheet style report
with subreport, and reordering the pages so that each subreports can print
different fields for each record.
