How to run full report on each record

M Dawson

Is there a way to prepare a report where the full report runs for each record?...all report pages process for record 1, then all report pages for record 2, and so on, resulting in one prepared report.

While I do a form of this with subreports, I want things such as different page settings, headers, footers, and overlays for each report page.

Any ideas (and/or code) on how to achieve this? Is this capability on the FR roadmap?

// FROM DOCUMENTATION
// This example shows how to merge two reports and preview the result:

Report report = new Report();
report.Load("report1.frx");
report.Prepare();
report.Load("report2.frx");
report.Prepare(true);
report.ShowPrepared();

If that simply appends one report after another, that's not quite what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for something like this. If I design a report with 3 report pages (page A, page B, page C), records and pages would flow like this:

record 1
report page A
report page B
report page C
record 2
report page A
report page B
report page C
record 3
report page A
report page B
report page C
..record 4...and so on

For record 1, all three report pages contain data from record 1. Then, for record 2, all 3 pages contain data from record 2.

a rule of thumb (see attached picture) :
1. datasource contains one or more tables
2. one page links to one or more tables
3. printing in a sequence order, page1 -> page2 -> page3
