Print Header-Band if masterband is empty

waeberd

Hello,

in some circumstances, I would like a headerband to be printed even if the associated masterband has no rows to print.

Any hint if it's possible to force this?

Thanks, Daniel

Hi...

Well... i needed to do something like that.

My case was:

PageHeader 1 (data from MasterTable)
Header1
  GroupHeader1
    MasterData1 (data from DetailTable)
  GroupFooter1
Footer1

I needed to print Header1 and Footer1, even MasterData1 had no row to print.

My Solution was the follow:

PageHeader1
GroupHeader1 (my old Header1)
  MasterData1
    GroupHeader2 (my old GroupHeader1)
      DetailData1 (my old MasterData1)
    GroupFooter2 (my old GroupFooter1)
GroupFooter1 (my old Footer1)

- set the DataSet property from MasterData1 to MasterTable
- set the DataSet property from DetailData1 to DetailTable.
- link the GroupHeader1 with the MasterTable through its PK
- link the GroupHeader2 with the DetailTable through its FK from the MasterTable
- set the Height property from MasterData1 to 0 (zero)
- set the MasterData1's property PrintIfDetailIsEmpty to True

That??s it.
This way I printed GroupHeader1 and GroupFooter1 even when DetailData1 has no row to be printed.

I hope that??s helpfull for you.

Hugs
