Child band visible...

I have following problem:
My Report has a master band, a detail band and a child band.
I want to print the bands in following order:

Master band
Detail band with Footer
ChildbandX (has Fields from Masterband)

The Childband Property of the DetailbandFooter is set to the ChildbandX.

Everything works fine, but if the Dataset of the Detailband is empty the Childband is invisible(disappears) too.

Is there any possibility to print out the Childband in evey case?

I tried the properties "PrintChildIfInvisible" or "PrintIf SubsetIsEmpty" of the Detailband/Detailbandfooter with no effect.

Thanks for any hints.

    Try this
    if your data is connected correctly it may work
    in the obp of the master try to retrieve a value from the detaildataset
    using the fieldisnull function, IIRC it should return a null as it has no records
    if that is true then connect the child to the mdband or connect it to the footer if it is not.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
