edited September 2003 in Subreports
Hi,

How to avoid to print the blank page when there is a section subreport in
the main report detail band.

Thanks

    It seems each time when preview or print a section style subreport, it
    always print a blank page first. Why and how to avoid this one?

    Hi William,

    When a section subreport gets a chance to print, it always starts on a new
    page. In your case, you'll need to use a child subreport so that it starts
    on the current page which is generating. If you have many section subreport
    components in the detail band, then try creating a new inner group around
    the detail band that is based on the master key field so that it only prints
    once for each master record. Then in the group header, place the child
    subreport. That way it will print first and then the section subreports in
    the detail band will get to print based on their Z-order, in which the child
    subreport should not be a participant in the detail, which is why it is ina
    group header band.

    Cheers,
