Shift Relative and Page Break

edited June 2008 in General
Hi,

I have a region which has its ShiftRelativeTo set to a subreport above

I am finding when ever the entire subreport decides to start new page
the region seems to no longer shift with the subreport.

The subreport itself jumps to the next page perfectly.

----------- SUBREPORT (Keep Together)
-------- DETAIL BAND
------ SUBREPORT
------ REGION


I am unsure as to how to track this down. Can anyone give me any hints.
Regards
Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,

    Which version of ReportBuilder/Delphi are you using?

    If possible please create a simple exmple that shows this behavior and send
    it in .zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com so I can take a look at
    it for you.

    Hi Nico,

    Using D7 and RB 10.08

    Before sending an example Ill see if i can sort it out as its a
    detailed report.

    My question is in regards to the hierarchial nature of KeepTogether.

    For instance if I set KeepTogether on a subreport can I expect all
    components within the subreport to stay on the same page.

    OR for example if i had two regions within a subreport with one region
    set to keeptogether will it ignore this keeptogether and take the
    parents value?


    Just basically after some information on how KeepTogether works in a
    Parent / Multi Subreport style report.

    Many Thanks
    Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,

    Setting the KeepTogether property of a Subreport will move the initial
    contents inside the subreport to the next page if a page breaks in an
    attempt to keep everything on a single page. This will apply for the entire
    subreport and include all its components.

    You can therefore expect all components in a subreport to be moved to a
    single page if KeepTogether is set to True and the subreport itself is not
    larger than one page.
