Master Detail report problem with from 5.x to 6.02

edited October 2001 in General
I had a report that has a master pipeline and a subreport on the main detail
band has a detail pipeline. It was working fine until I recompile the
program in 6.02 and now the report will only print master record that has
detail records. Any master record that has no detail record will not print?

    Yes,
    I had confirmed there is a bug in 6.02 for master detail report.
    I compile the master detail report in the tutorial directory, then run the
    report and everything looks right until I delete orders for a customer and
    that customer does not show on the report any more.
    I need a fix real bad!
    Thanks,

    Hi there

    In certain cases the 'Problem' that you see as a bug on your side can
    sometimes be very helpfull. I for instance, have a report that I only want
    to print the detail for those master records that have detail records -
    otherwise there is (in my case) a lot of useless information on my report.
    In your case the information that I call 'useless' is actually very
    important (and thus 'usefull') information to you application users.

    It would be nice if this 'Bug' can be toggled by the Developer - according
    to his needs.

    Go well

    My sincere apology for saying Reportbuilder has a bug. After reading
    message from Rico Koegelenberg, I started to look at the "SkipWhenNoRecords"
    properties and found out that I make a mistake on changing it to True.
    So if you want all master record to print even when there is no detail then
    set this properties to False on the the detail pipeline.

    Rico,
    Thanks for you posting it helped me found my mistake on setting the
    properties in reportbuilder.
    The feature you're looking is there.
    1. Only want master record to print when there is detail then make sure
    "SkipWhenNoRecords" properties on the detail pipeline is set to True. This
    is the default setting.
    2. Want all master record to print even when there is no detail then set
    the properties to False.
