Multi-"Page" reports

edited September 2013 in General
I'm experiencing more mental blocks than usual...

How do I create (in the designer) a report with multiple pages? As
strange as it seems, I've not needed to do that before.

Thanks very much!

    Hello,

    As a report grows (traverses data) it will automatically create new
    pages as needed.

    If you would like to manually add pages, you can use one of the options
    below.

    1. Section subreports: Create a report with only a single detail band
    and place the number of section style subreports inside the band as
    number of page you would like.

    2. TppPageBreak component: Place a pagebreak component anywhere inside a
    report to automatically break to a new page.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks, Nico,

    What I should have explained is that I need to actually lay out three
    different report pages in the designer, all three pages of which, will
    be filled with data from single records as the report is generated. I
    would guess from your explanation that the only way to create multiple
    design pages is to use subreports. Is that correct?

    Nico,

    Please ignore my first reply to your answer. I found exactly what you
    described in the Developer's Guide. When I first looked there I didn't
    realize I should be looking in the subreports area.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
