Custom Report only showing one page

rbuser

Hi,

I'm using Delphi 6 and Report Builder 7.04 for an old App I thought was long
gone, but alas.

So the report I am having a problem with is a custom report which has a
header, a footer and a detail.

All the data I am reporting on is being generated programmatically in the
Header band. This all worked fine until the information displaed needed
more than one page.

So my question is, how can I force the report to roll over to another page
if it needs to. Can I calculate and then test to see I need to
programmatically add a page break? I don't see a property to say roll over
to a new page if required anywhere.

Any help would be most gratefully received
Thanks in advance
Colin

Hi Colin,

Is this report connected to a dataset of some sort or are you entering the
data manually? By design, the pagination in ReportBuilder is data driven
meaning a new detail band is generated for each record in a connected
dataset until space runs out on a page in which case a new page is created.

For a report that is not connected to any data you can try using a Group
based on a custom field that is set to start a new page each time it breaks.

ReportBuilder 9 introduced the PageBreak component that allows you to break
to a new page when needed

Hi Nico,

No it isn't connected to a DataSet, it's purely labels and shapes generated
from sets of custom lists. I could try a group based ona custom field, but
I have to say I like what ReportBuilder 9 provides, but would it work on
Delphi 6?

many thanks
Colin

Hi Colin,

Sorry I may have misled you a bit. I meant to say "starting" with RB 9, the
PageBreak component was included.

ReportBuilder 11 is the current version and also includes the PageBreak
component. ReportBuilder 11 is compatible with Delphi 6.
