Cover Page

edited June 2001 in General
Is it possible to add a front page to a report like a cover page you get
with fax stuff! The page may be totally different from the report layout.

Thanks in advance

    You can use the TitleBand and set its NewPage property. If you are already
    using the Titlepage, you can put a section style subreport in the title
    page. The section style subreports always begin printing on their own page.
    There is a known issue with using section style subreports in the title page
    when other components exist in the title band. This has been fixed for the
    next release and a patch is also available upon request.

    Another option is to dynamically create a page object before the first page
    is sent to the printer. You'll need to dynamically create draw commands on
    this page object. There is a demo for this approach:
