3 subreports

edited February 2010 in General
hi;

i need to print 3 half-leter size forms; 2 are exactly the same (original
and a copy) and the third one is different, but the 3 takes the data from
the same datasource. i was thinking to use subreports, one for each form.
But i only got blank pages when i try to print it.

Im not sure if this is the right approach, can anyone point me to the right
direcction?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Willo,

    Yes, this should work. Are you certain each subreport is connected to the
    proper dataset? As a first step, try getting a single subreport to print
    the correct data first then try adding more. What type of subreports are
    you using (child, fixed or section)?

    Fixed.

    Each subreport is connected to the same Dataset, do i need 3 different
    datasets?

    So far, I can't make the report prints, not even with only a subreport.

    Hi Willo,

    No, you should not need three separate datasets.

    Are your subreports sized to the correct height. When using fixed style
    subreports, you need to be sure the subreport component placed in the main
    report it vertically sized to the size of the subreport.

    Correnting subreports height solves the problem, thanks Nico!
