Group Footer on a new page

rbuser

Hi,

RB7, how do I make a footer appear on a new page depending on criteria (the
value of a database flag)?

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex,

Unfortunately ReportBuilder 7 was not designed to allow a forced page break
in the group footer. One option may be to place a section style subreport
inside the group footer. Another may be to add a shape or region that
causes the group footer to run out of space based on wheter you want a page
break to occur or not. ReportBuilder 9 includes a PageBreak component that
allows you to break to a new page whenever you like.

Hi Nico,

I tried your former option of creating a section style subreport. I have
put this in the outside group footer as it is supposed to total all the
detail line entries together. It does print on a new page, however, all
values are zero. I presume the data pipeline needs to be , or is there
any other reason the values should not total?

Thanks

Hi Alex,

How are you totaling the detail lines? I would recommend placing an
invisible variable inside the detail band of the main report, and it it's
OnCalc event, update the value of another variable inside the section
subreport.
