SubReport headers in main report

rbuser

Hi - I have a report with just two subreports.

Each subreport has a header band just detailing the name of the report, date
and pageset.

On printing the report I do not see these details - it is as if the header
band wasn't in the report - it just doesn't print out. Or do I have to
intercept the report before the child report fires up?

Using Delphi 6 Enterprise with RB 7 (for 6).

Thanks for a helping hand! cheers - David

Strike that last nonsense!

Setting Visible=True seems to make such a lot of difference . It
appears that adding a sub report sets the header band property "Visible" to
False? Is that really so?

Tech Tip: Subreport header/footer bands do not print for
Child type subreports.
------------------------------------------------------------------

For a subreport set to pbChild, the header/footer are not supported.
A child type subreport prints on its parent's page space and
therefore behaves more like a memo.

Options:

1. Use Title/Summary band.

2. Use GroupHeader/GroupFooter. If you need to repeat the header
when a page breaks then then you can create a group and
set Group.ReprintOnSubsequentPage to True.

Wow! While I was typing the follow up Jim was typing the answer! That's
neat ))

I seem to have solved it with the solution outlined in the (solved) message.
Setting Visible to True!

Thanks Jim - cheers, David
