Minimum number of records...

rbuser

Hello,

Is it possible to print a minimum number of rows using a TBDEPipeline,
regardless of the number of records returned by a query ?

I want to print a list of "Parts used", which will be completed handwritten
by a mechanic.
So, for example, 6 records are returned by the query, but I want to fill the
form (detail band) with 14 more empty records (just dotted lines)
to give a mechanic some space to fill in some more data by hand.

I am using a TppBDEPipline.

I know how to do it with a JIT-pipeline (by setting the recordcount), but I
am stuck with the TppBDEPipeline....(RangeEndCount maybe ?)


thanks,

Dirk Janssens.

Hi Dirk,

You could do something similar to the example below or perhaps use a
JITPipeline to take complete control over how the data is retrieved and
displayed.

See the main reports demo (\Demos\1. Reports\...) for examples of how to use
the JITPipeline.
