You should nest Section subreports within Child style subreports. This does
not make logical sense because the Child style subreport is meant to print
like a memo and the Section subreport is meant to print like an independent

Actually the simplest way to do this would be to use the Data workspace to
create a summary query that contains the record count.

There is no way to determine how much page space the subreport will occupy
until the report engine executes.
You can set SummaryBand.PrintPosition to specify the vertical position on
the page at which it starts to print. Y… -
You cannot resize the footer band. It must be static for the entire report.
Try using a summary band or a group footer band.

Are you using RB 7.03? If not download a trial version and perform the same
test.
If you still have an issue, try to create a similar example using DBDemos

Try creating a Group in the subreport and specifying a "New Page When Less
Than" value. This property is called Group.NewPageThreshold.

Try setting the SubReport.StopPosition to reserve space at the bottom of the

You need to remove the header/footer from the main report so that it
contains only a detail band. Each section must print its own header/footer.
Section style subreport each print like a separate report. Child style

You do not specify whether the subreports are set to pbChild (the default)
or to pbSection.

Check that the subreport.Visible property, perhaps it accidentally got set
to False.

The SystemVariable is not going to work because the subreport generates once
for each report. The generation process is essentially like running a new

From your description of how you want the pages to look, sounds more like
you want to print a "title page" prior to each master record. The simplest
configuration I think of would like this.

The recommended method of modeling the output you require is to use the
approach that I suggested.
If the main report has a footer and contains section, there may be a
tendency for the generating process to get confused on…
Try modeling the report a slightly different way.
Create a main report that has only a detail band - no header or footer.
Use a section style subreport to print the first page. (this will be what is
now the first pag…
As a test try creating a new report that contains only main, subreport3 and
subreport4. Does that print correctly?
Is there anything in subreport3 that would cause a page break - a start new
page group perhaps or a title b…

Try using side by side subreports to prin the tablAddress and tablPhone
data. We have an example of this in the RBuilder\Demos\Reports\Demo.dpr -
the example is slightly different because the master has two details that

Try downloading a trial version of RB 7.03 for D6 and performing the same

If you want the reports to print with PassSetting of psTwoPass and
CachePages False, you need to configure the main report to have these
settings. The main report controls how all of the subreports are generated -

1. Try a simple test in which you do not create the report dynamically.
2. In the code to create the report do not call Report.RemoveBand. Instead

You need to configure the groups prior to calling report.Print. Do not
modify the group properties while the report is executing.

Using RB 7.03 I just created a very simple report to test this. I created a
query on the custom table from DBDemos. Ordered the data on CustNo and then
in the main report created a Group on CustNo. In the GroupFooter band I

Okay so now explain structurally in RB how this is currently modelled.

I still do not understand. I need a more concrete example. Can you describe
a couple of the reports - how they are structured, whether they reside on a
form/datamodule or are stored as .rtm files or are stored in a database.
Not sure that I completely understand, but it sounds like it is
hierarchical:
1. List of reports that can be printed as top level reports. These are the
ReportItems.
2. Each report in number 1 above, can itself …
