Layout Problems

Lamarr

Hello everybody,

since this is my first project with FastReport and I'm German, I hope you won't have any problems with understanding my problem.

I have to create a catalogue, for which I import the data via Datanorm (if it is important). So far, so good.

The problem is that I want to insert the prices to the index/directory (I edited the Standard.fr3 provided with FastReport). As the prices are only in the "Data" - Dataset (and the index is in the "Index"- Dataset), I cannot add the prices directly.

My workaround by creating a new belt (I have the German version) with the "Data" - Dataset works, but I can't align the prices directly next to the according article.

I'm thankful for any answer
Greetings

P.S. If sth. is cloudy, tell me please.

EDIT:

Maybe it's possible to make one whole Dataset-Layer (incl. childs) overlay the other?

Data connections is controlled at the data level
while you make it available through the frxdbdataset components interelations master/detail/subdetail
is actually handled at the table level. a databand is only controling the opening and closing and movement through the records of the dataset to which it is connected. field values are displayed in text objects(tfrxmemoviews) and do not have to be linked to any dataset but can contain
values like | [table1."fieldname"] [table2.fieldname] | within the same memo, or different memos side by side within the same band.
(table1 and table2 above refer to the username given to the tfrxdbdatasets).
the actual data connection outside may be
table1 to tdatasource1, tfrxdbdataset1 to tdatasource1.
table2 to tdatasource2 master datasource to tdatasource1(set appropriate master fields index etc)
connect tfrxdbdataset2 to tdatasource2.
Tip don't confuse band names in the report with data relationships of master/detail/subdetail
just think of them as place holders on the design page.
data of level1, data of level2, data of level3. etc..

hope this helps you to understand.
