Full page in group header

rbuser

I'm trying to print a full page group header and a fixed five-pages group
footer (it's a government form...)
I tried with subreports in many way, but it prints only the detail or only
the header... can anyone help me?
Thanks

You should be able to place a subreport in the group header/footer band, and
then use its PageStyle band to have it occupy the height of the page.

Ok, but it doesn't print the detail pages... it's a whole page group header,
many detail pages (with a form correctly filled) and 5 pages of group
footer...
If I create a pbSection subreport in the detail band, it prints only one
time (strangely on the second page...) and then it prints the detail pages
without breaking the group; if I put it into the group header band (where I
think it should logically be placed), it prints only the correct pages for
the group headers, but it never prints details...

Resize the group header to the page height you need to fit the form. Set the
main report's detail band height to zero. Go into the groups dialog and
turn off 'Print group header on subsequent pages.' Then in the group
footer, place 5 section style subreports. In each subreport, you can place
one of the pages of the 5 page form. Set the subreport's report AutoStop
property to true and its PageLimit can be set to 1.
