keeping contents of a detail band together

rbuser

I have some into a project recently, and am trying to resolve an issue
in a report. I have a TppDetailBand which contains a TppDBWPTRichText,
and two TppRegions. The TppDBWPTRichText may contain zero to n lines of
text.

Is there a way to keep the band from breaking across page boundaries?

Thanks,

Thanks, Nico, I suspected that would be the path. The existing design,
however, uses those regions, one for the header row, and the other for
data rows. The regions can't be nested in the subreport, can they?
Because if not, then I must change a good deal of code which now
populates the report.

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

Since ReportBuilder does not support nested regions, you could place all
your detail components inside a KeepTogether subreport to accomplish
what you need.

Nico,

In the interest of a minally disruptive rework, I put a subreport in
the band, and put the original components that had been in the band
into the subreport.

Now I observe that the region which previously showed the bold-faced
headers above the data rows is no longer present, and the subreport
still breaks across page boundaries.

It occurs to me that you may be recommending a feature not present in
the version I must use: 12.04. Could that be?

Thanks,

Update. It finally occurred to me to put the RTF and header region into
the title section of the subreport.

On the main report, I have selected the subreport, and set
KeepTogether. However, the subreport -- typically one title roe and
three data rows, will still break across a page boundary. This is what
I need to correct.

Thanks,
