Problem printing 2 copies of same fist label after skipping

rbuser

The skipping itself works fine now I'm using the last sample you created,
but I'm still having the same problem trying to print 2 copies of the
same label. I've set BandsPerRecord to 2 but the first label is only
printed once. All other labels are printed twice as they should !

You'll need to set BandsPerRecordCount to 1 in this case. It is a read only
property. However, you can open ppBands.pas and change the
DetailBand.BandsPerRecord property to writeable. Then you can set it to 1
when the skipping has finished, in the DetailBand.BeforePrint in the demo.
Be sure your new ppBands.pas is linked into your project.

Can you tell me exactly what I have to change because I don't know what to
look for.

Thanks,
Harry.

When the detail band prints, the detail band count isn't getting reset when
you assign the detail band count. So, open ppBands.pas in your installed
RBuilder\Source. Change the Detailband.SetBandsPerRecord method as shown
below. Change your library path in the environment options to include
..\RBuilder\Source instead of ..\RBuilder\Lib


{---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---}
{ TppDetailBand.SetBandsPerRecord }

procedure TppDetailBand.SetBandsPerRecord(aValue: Integer);
begin

if (aValue < 1) then
FBandsPerRecord := 1
else
FBandsPerRecord := aValue;

FBandsPerRecordCount := 1; <--add this line

Reset;

end; {procedure, SetBandsPerRecord}
