Section Subreport...

rbuser

Hi Nico,

Now they are printing but the subreports property ParentPrinterSetup isn?t
setting . So in the report preview if i select other printer name for
example , it isn?t accepted.

I try to change the childs printersetup in the PrintDialogClose event ( with
this code : 'TppChildReport.PrinterSetup.printername :=
TppReport.PrinterSetup.printername;')but isn?t work.

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Hi Veri,

I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. The code you
have below simply sets the child report's printer to the printer of the main
report. What exactly is happening in this case that is incorrect?

Note that when setting PrinterName property, you should always use the
PrinterNames list rather than manually entering the name. Something like
the following...

ppChildReport1.PrinterSetup.PrinterName :=
ppChildReport.PrinterSetup.PrinterNames[1];

Hi Nico,

What i need is controll each section subreport copy.

For example, i want to print two copies from 1? subreport and only one from
2? and 3? subreports.

How can i do that?

Thanks!

Hi Veri,

In my testing, placing three section subreports in a main report and setting
the copies to different values prints the correct amount of copies for each
subreport if the NewPrintJob is set to True and ParentPrinterSetup is set to
False.

Note that setting any of the PrinterSetup properties after the Print Dialog
has closed is too late to have an effect on the print job.

Hi Nico,

Yes, thanks, it was exactly what i done and worked! :-)

But i have one more question, can you help me?

When i used the PrintToFile option and tried to print my report to PDFFile,
it was printed to PDFFile and after it was printed again to printer selected
in PrintDialog.

Why?

Hi Nico,

Good News!! :-)

I solved this problem setting each subreport NewPrintJob property to false
in PrintDialogClose event when PrintToFile is set .

Thanks!
