Reza Pajhouhesh

Hi,
I want to have a report with table layout like the attached file. How can I do it with Fast Report?

Have you any example?
I want to draw lines in free space (spaces that not exists records in last page) to page footer section

You could probably add some empty "fake" entries to your dataset. Like copy your dataset into a memory dataset, add some empty records and let Fast Report process this dataset.

assuming you are using at least the standard version of fr.
create a duplicate of your master band in an unattached child band, using empty memoviews
write code in the footer band obp event to check the freespace available and call the engine.showband(childbandname) method.

erite code in the footer band obp event to check the freespace available and call the engine.showband(childbandname) method.

Can you send me an example or at least write required code?

while engine.freespace > childbandname.height do
begin
engine.showband(childbandname);

while engine.FreeSpace>child1.height do
engine.showband(child1);
But the engine.FreeSpace value is always 0.
Must child1 band invisible(the visible property of child1 band =False) or must another solution?

Hi, thanks for your help,
I attached a report that its data source is biblio.mdb , please review it.

Add a header and a footer band to your report, they can be 0 height
place the code in the obp event of the footer not the page footer.
BTW
you can use memoviw frames instead of lines for vertical lines

You said: "Add a header and a footer band to your report, they can be 0 height"
Why do I must add header band to my report, is it necessary?
Thanks
