Fix size of a subreport and continue next page

Former Member

Hi experts,

I need to fix the size of the detail section and I can not use the number of records because they may have different number of lines.

I can not use the Pagefooter section because  I have a background image from Pageheader to the end of the report and if i grow footer, the image doesn`t cover the entire report.

I tried creating a subreport and give fixed size (Can grow not checked), but truncate the records and not continues in the next page.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Miguel,

Count Number of character for each record and set a limitation, if the count is more than the limitation then split it other wise display it.

Thanks,

I know that I can limit the number of characters in the record, but not a logical solution. Records must appear with the correct and complete information.

I would appreciate a more realistic solution.

Can I set a fixed size for a subreport and make records continue on next page when the set size is reached?

Thanks

Hi Miguel,

Counting the number of detail rows is the only 'realistic' solution, unfortunately.

The Subreport grows based on records inside it; its height cannot be used as a factor in calculating how many records can show up on a page.

Count the number of lines containing the detail section would be a perfect solution. But as I have read in various forums, I can count the number of records, but not the number of lines.

I imagine that knowing the number of characters that has the "descripction" field (the longer field) and dividing by the number of characters that fit per line, could know the number of lines per record and be able to set a page break when the number of lines of several records reach a certain value,.

But I do not know how to implement this solution. If you can help me I'd really appreciate it.
