How to build report with several memo fields

mierlp

Hi,

I can't figure it out how to build a report which uses 5 memo fields.
Every memo field needs to print all text, - mostly 20 rows, and at the
end of the page create a nice pagebreak and print the rest on the
second...fifth pages. I don't want to print every memo on a new page.

What a the steps to realise this report ?

Thankx

Peter

Hi,

Well...that's what i did try....BUT...the text goes OVER de pagebreak
even in a preview without creating a second page. What i did was :

- put MASTERDATA and put some fields on it

- put first DETAILDATA and put first memo....let's call it PROBLEM
- property Problem.StretchMode=smMaxHeigt
- property DetailData.Stretched:=true

- put second DETAILDATA and put first memo....let's call it SOLUTION
- property Solution.StretchMode=smMaxHeigt
- property DetailData2.Stretched:=true

What happends : second memo starts on NEW page

THEN

- set property DetailData2.Stretched:=false
What happends : second memo will be printed directly under the first BUT
NO new pages will be created and text goes over the pagebreak.
Within QuickReport you have to use ''childs'', so i did try it...same result
as above

So...if someone has solution it will be great.

Thanks

you must set the allowsplit property of the band containing the stretched memos.

Hi Peter
forget how things were done in qr
compile the demo aps and look at them
fom the ide as well as run time
read the programmers manual and the users manual
and try the examples in the user manual.
