Multiple instances of a report on the same page |
|---|
| message from Chris on 1 Jun 2004 |
My technical manager is asking me a tabelar report with header and footer.
For every change of each one of 2 of the parameters from rhe header, he
wants a new instance of the report on the same page (not on a new page, so I
can't use "force new page").
Every tabelar report must have a fixed number of lines(7), even the lines
with data are less than 7.

Didn't anybody read this cry for help? Or nobody wants to answer?

I don't understand the question, Chris. I can't imagine what "a new instance
of the report on the same page" might mean. To my way of thinking, pages are
"inside" reports, not the other way around, you can't have reports within a
page, you have pages within a report.

Sorry! I ment to print on the same A4 paper sheet more consecutive pages of
a report (smaller then A4)till the A4 paper sheet is over, and then to
continue on the next paper sheet with the next page of the report, and so
on.
OR to print on the same A4 paper sheet more times the same page of the
report.
The report it is all about has header, body and footer with data in all of
them..
Can you help me?

If I'm understanding this correctly, you want to fill the page. You even
want to do this if the second copy of the report starts to print instead of
the second copy starting on a new page. Standard windows printing is going
to send a page feed at the end of a print job before it starts the next
copy, so unless you can find a printer driver add-in that will capture the
print job and repaginate all the copies into a single run for you, I'm going
to say No. One utility I've used successfully, but I don't remember this
option, is at www.fineprint.com. This will give options for 4 pages/sheet
and other reformatting.

I think what you probably need is subreports. Create a new, blank report and
insert as many subreport controls as you want 'pages' per sheet. Use your
existing report as the source object for the subreport controls.
