Address at fixed position below detail band

rbuser

I'm wanting to print the address on a tear off receipt portion at the bottom
of the page.
This needs to be in the same place to line up with the envelope window.
However my detail band is above this so it will move according to the number
of detail records.
I produced two overlapping subreports, one containing only the address
region - and position wise this works well but the records get out of sync.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

If only one detail band is to be printed on a page, then you could resize
the detail band to use more of the page space. Use a fixed style subreport
(PrintBehavior property) to print in a certain postion in the band on the
page. If that doesn't work, then try using the footerband to print at the
bottom of the page, as the footer band is aligned to the bottom of each
page.

Thanks for your prompt attention.
It is a little more complex unfortunately.
I need a side by side printing capability - for multiple detail records they
need to be able to extend down the page to the right of and past the top of
the address band. I've been playing with a ppVariable and almost have it by
setting CalcType and CalcComponent - but am getting tripped up when the
report spills onto a second page.

I should have added - what happens is the subreport containing the
ppvariable moves on to the next group and gets out of sync with the main
breaking group of the other subreport.

Probably well known to most of you - but had my data set up wrong.
Setup master pipeline containing one record per customer to which the rest
were linked below.

Put components I wanted to stay in place on main report.
Put everything else in a child subreport. They both print on top of each
other giving a side by side effect without main report components being
moved around as traverse the detail records of each master record.

Everything is fine.

Thankyou
