Detect Subreport out of room in a static band

rbuser

D6 RB7.04 EUR with RAP and DADE

I have a two column report that has a fixed detail band. The detail
band has a subreport sized to the band. The subreport itself has
subreports that scan dataviews and are of variable height.

Usually everything fits but if it doesn't I want to put out an
indicator that it didn't.

How can I detect the truncation?

Thanks,

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hi Rick,

Sorry about the delay in this response, my newsreader did not pick up your
first post for some reason.

You should be able to use the DetailBand.OutOfSpace property to detect if
there is going to be an overflow. If you want to place a message when this
happens, you could code something like the following inside the
DetailBand.AfterGenerate

if ppDetailBand1.OutOfSpace then
ppLabel3.Visible := True
else
ppLabel3.Visible := False;

No problem, I should have remembered that method. It worked a treat
thanks very much.

Cheers,
