Hi Victor,

 

Attached is an STR.

 

Just get rid of the Two level report, move the line you have in the Two
Level Header into the Rreport Body immediately before the SubReport and then
make sure there is no CR at the end of that line.

 

Regards

Brian

Brian and Don 

Thank you for the replies. Attached is a zip files with the database.

The report produces almost what I want but not quite. Eg for one book:

"Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts;
01;Introduction;
02;Structure;
03;What to say;
04;How to say it;
05;How not to say it;
06;When not to say it;
07;Common legal issues;"

What I would like to do is the for the first line of the report, I would
like to have 

"Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts - 01;Introduction;"

Otherwise the report should continue as above (ie from "02;Structure").

I would be grateful for any help with this.

Victor - off hand I would think that you would want to implement a two-level
report starting in the first panel. I assume you have a link between the
first and second panels. In the two level report header I'd pull in the name
of the book and using an RV go through the link and grab the name/number of
the chapter. It will always grab the first chapter assuming that the link is
constructed that way. 

 

Then in the two-level subreport do a report for each chapter calling out the
chapter number and title. Use an RV to skip any record in that part of the
report that reads "chapter 1" so that it won't repeat itself. 

 

I find answering these questions in the abstract difficult but solving the
problems easy. If this doesn't solve the problem in a way that works for you
and you understand feel free to zip of a copy of the database and send it
over to me and I'll write a report doing what you want that you can examine
and use or simply use.

I would be grateful for some help in producing a particular type of report.

 

Background 

1. A database with two panels.
 
2. The first has the names (and other details) of a book.
 
3. The second panel contains the number of the chapter and the names of the
chapters ("1"
and "the formation of a contract"; "2" and "the meaning of joint and several
liability")
 
 Type of report
The report I wish to produce is as follows:
 
(a) the first entry in the report should be
 
name of book - number of chapter - chapter title (all as one field/entry)
 
(b) for the remaining chapters, the rest of the report should be:
 
number of chapter - chapter title (all as one field/entry)
 
(ie not have the name of the book)


Ie the book is called "Using DataPerfect" and there are 3 chapters:
"Introduction", "Reports", "Fields", the report would be:

 

"Using DataPerfect - 01. Introduction"

"02. Reports"
"03 Fields"


Any help with this would be much appreciated.
