Hi Filip,
After tracing through some of the ReportBuilder source, I found that RB was
not designed to handle multiple copies of separate subreports. You can
however try to let your printer driver handle this type of print job… -
Hi Filip,
I am currently testing this. Thanks for your patience.

You can have each one of your section subreport use it's own printer setup
by simply changing those properties before printing. This should
automatically set the ParentPrinterSetup property to False and print that <…Hi Ian,
You can adjust the TppGroupFooterBand.PrintPosition property to define where
on a page you would like that band to print. This value should be assigned
in report units. For instance if you are using 9.5x11 paper and …Hi Bert,

The NoDataBehaviors property for the subreport can be found by tabbing over

Although we have never tested a report with 150 subreports, is should be

Sorry, I completely misunderstood what your report looks like. If you are

The following code worked correctly for me when I tested it on my machine...

Guido,
Instead of using a TppLable, try using a TppVariable. Inside its OnCalc
event set the Value property equal to the AbsolutePageCount. The following
code worked correctly for me.

Sorry, I missed that you were using the BeforePrint event. Instead of using
this event, try using the OnStartPage event or Band.BeforePrint event to
check the AbsolutePageCount. Note that you will need to first che…Hi Guido,
Make sure your report has its PassSetting property set to psTwoPass. This
will calculated the pages needed before displaying the report and then the
ChildReport.AbsolutePageCount should give you a correct value.
Hi Jonathan,
Are you using groups? If so, you can use the Report.PageCount property to
discover how many pages are in the current group if you have your report set
to psTwoPass.

Are you using RAP? If so, you will need to create a global variable to
access an TppVariable in the main report. Take a look at the following
example for an idea on how this can be done.
in Variables Comment by nicocizik May 2005Hi Susie,
I cannot think if a reason a section style subreport would not print at all
when placed in the detail band of your main report. If possible, please
send a small example I can run on my machine that demonstrates this…Hi Susie,
Section Style subreports are designed to be placed in the detail band of a

This is not a known issue. Usually when the output on screen does not match

Hi Tom,
Most constants and enumerated types are located in the ppTypes.pas file.
Adding ppTypes to your uses clause will solve the issue.
