Help on collation

edited April 2009 in General
Hi Nico,

If I print a report with 2 copies and collation, how I can force only one
subreport (section) to print always one copy, if the user check a checkbox
before a print dialog show?
I need to print all subreports with 2 collate copies (with option in print
dialog) , but one subreport (if user want) with 1 copy.
How I can (easly) obtain this?
Thanks on advance!

    A couple of approaches I can think of...

    1. If you have subreports set to PrintBehavior of pbSection, then you can
    set Subreport.NewPrintJob to true and print the subreports as a separate
    print job. Configure the Subreport.PrinterSetup properties as desired.

    2. The other approach that comes to mind is to make a copy of the subreport
    so that you have two of them in the report. Set the subreport2.Visible
    property to True/False based on whether you need the additional copy.
