How to stop text in subreport to display at the middle page

rbuser

Hi,

I am new and using RB 7.03. Could you please show me how to design a report
with the following requirement:

I have a report contain Header, Detail and Footer. In Detail Band, I want
to display 2 subreports called subreport1 and subreport2 in 2 rectangular
areas. Subreport1 is displayed on first half of a page and Subreport2 is
displayed in second half of the page. If data in Subreport1 or Subreport2
longer than the length designated area, data will continue to be printed on
the second page.

Here is how it looks like

On Page1:

HEADER
DETAIL BAND
-----------------------------------
| |
| Subreport1 |
| |
| |
-----------------------------------
| |
| Subreport2 |
| |
| |
-----------------------------------
FOOTER

On Page2:

HEADER
DETAIL BAND
-----------------------------------
| Continue of |
| Subreport1 |
| |
| |
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
| Continue of |
| Subreport2 |
| |
| |
-----------------------------------
FOOTER


On Page3:

HEADER
DETAIL BAND
-----------------------------------
| Continue of |
| Subreport1 |
| |
| |
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
| Continue of |
| Subreport2 |

-----------------------------------
FOOTER

Welcome to ReportBuilder

For each subreport

1. Set SubReport.PrintBehavior to pbFixed and size the subreport control to
occupy the desired area of the page.

2. Set SubReport.TraverseAllData to True. This is a special property that
applies to pbFixed subreports and enables them to overflow (i.e. continue
generating) on additional pages as needed. Connect each subreport to an
appropriate datapipeline.

Hi Nard,

Thank for your big help.

I have another problem regarding this matter:

I have each subreport displayed on each half of a page. However, data in
each subreport print over the next page too soon, leaving the current page
with lot of empty space. I already set the bottom offset of each subreport
to 0.

Please tell me what is wrong.

Thanks,

Vinh

Try downloading a trial version of RB 9 and perform the same test.

A pbFixed subreport should only overflow when it reaches the end of the
boundary defined by the subreport control. I think I recall there was an
issue with this that has since been fixed.
