1. Create a report with nothing but a Detail Band. 2. Place 6 Section style subreports inside the detail band. 3. Load each separate image into each subreport.
I now have a report with a header and footer containing a logo & page count.
I have added into the DetailBand Subreport10 Subreport11 Subreport12 Subreport13 One below the other. ie 4 rows. Each sub report has a header & footer and 2 DBImages that fill the detail band.(one above the other).
When I run the report I would expect to see : Logo - 2 images(image 1 & Image3) - page 1/4 Logo - 2 images (image3 & image 4) page 2/4 etc
I get 2 pages page 1/2 (image1 & image2) with (image3 & image4) on top page 2/2 (image5 & image6) with (image7 & image8) on top
I have played with the page breaks but cannot get the correct result.
I'm sorry, I did not realize your images were on a database (I missed the subject). Since each image is located in a dataset, there is another option using groups that would be easier. In a new report, try creating a group that breaks on each record and set the group to start a new page. This way you can place a single DBImage in the detail band and it will update for each record in the dataset.
Groups are a fundamental feature of ReportBuilder and are essential for many data-driven reports. I highly suggest spending some time with the Developer's Guide working through the provided tutorials to become more acquainted with the main features of ReportBuilder. It will make the development process much easier and more enjoyable.
Groups are created using the Groups dialog (Report | Groups option from the main menu). Take a look at Demo 41 located in the \RBuilder\Demos\1. Reports for an example of what I'm talking about. This shows how to create a report with a single record for each page. You would want to do something similar to this with your report.

band.(one above the other).

Logo - 2 images (image3 & image 4) page 2/4 etc
I get 2 pages page 1/2 (image1 & image2) with (image3 & image4) on top
page 2/2 (image5 & image6) with (image7 & image8) on top

What am I doing wrong here?
