Losing data at page break
We've had an app running for some time (Delphi6, RBPro 6.02) and just
recently noticed a reporting problem. The sub-report uses two columns to
list data. If the page breaks during printing of the sub-report, one data
element is not printed.
For example: If there are 5 items on the sub-report and it needs to start a
new page after item 2, then the second page will only have items 4 and 5 -
item 3 is not printed. But if I remove items 4 and 5, then item 3 will print
on the second page. Or if I add text to another portion of the report so the
sub-report doesn't break, then all 5 items will print.
Any ideas as to what I should look for that would cause this problem would
be appreciated.

- as a test try commenting out the event-handler code associated with the
report. Make sure that you do not have any code that manipulates the dataset
in any manner while the report is generating.
- if you still have an issue, download a trial version of the latest
release, RB 10.04 for D6, and perform the same test. Backup your existing
installation and reports prior to installing RB 10
