Section subreport on band with other components

rbuser

I have a section subreport on the summary band of a report along with some
other components and the result prints in a very odd order. I have tried
setting the zorder using bring forward/send back but it has no effect that I
can see (not sure how to inspect ths zorder either). Sometimes the order the
components were created in the designer seems to have an effect, but not
consistantly - some labels will print before the section subreport but not
memos or a child supreport or labels designed after the subreport

Can section subreports co-exisit on a band with other components? How can I
control the order they print in?

RB6.03 D5. Thanks

It is not a good idea to place section subreports in a band with other
components. Place another subreport in the band to contain and print the
other components.

Accidentally replied to Support directly not this thread (sorry). Here is
the outcome:

Section reports always print first in z-order, followed by any child type
subreports. So it is not possible to get a child subreport to print BEFORE a
section subreport in the same band.

Mixing section subreports in a band with other components can have
unexpected results.

Thanks Tom and Jim for all your help.
