Pageheader and Groupheader problems??

Diablomus

Hi.
I have two problems in my project.

My project:
I have customer db. (CustomerName,CustomerSurname,CustomerCity,CustomerPic)

My report properties either problems:
1.Groupheader1 (Condition property: frxDBDataset1."CustomerCity", Startnewpage property:true,because I am wanting to group for customer city)
2.Masterdata1 (Dataset property:frxDBDataset1,Columns property:6)
3.Picture1(In masterdata band,It shows customer picture,Datafield property:Customerpic)
4.Memo1(In masterdata band,It shows customer name,Datafield property:Customername)

1. Problems:
My report design:

I think the problem is caused by the sequence the events are executed.
I'd try and see whether adding a groupfooter changes anything. If not, I'd manage it in code with a variable that lags the event, i.e. it is set in the OnAfterPrint event of the groupheader. Of course you'll have to initialize it correctly for the first groupheader.

Something like this pseudo code, untested.

var
headerstring : string;

reporttitle.OnAfterPrint
begin
// initialize for 1st group header
headerstring := table."data";
end;

pageheader.OnBeforePrint
begin
memo.Text := headerstring;
end;

pageheader.OnAfterPrint
begin
//preserve current value
headerstring := table."data";
end;

Right, it is not right. I played around with a layout similar to yours and I could get the same problem you have.
Worst of all, its presence seems to depend on the number of columns across and the height of the masterdata band.
That looks like eternal trouble to me.

The easy and working alternative is this layout:

PageHeader - prints <table."city">

GroupHeader - breaks on <table."city"> but has no printable components

MasterData.Columns := 1;
Page.Columns := 6;

The only difference is that the data runs from
top to botton (column1) then top to botton (column2) etc
instead of
left to right (row1) then left to right (row2) etc.

But this is what my solution does.
Your layout works row1 (left to right), row2 (left to right), row3 (left to right)

But does it really matter even if my solution would not produce what you want exactly (in terms of sequence) as you start a new page for every city anyway?
Sometimes one just has to say that something is not possible.

Sorry my english not good.
i has wrote false
Right: the data must run left to right (row1) then left to right (row2).
and i am starting a new page for every city..
