Hi All,
Been a while :-)
Wanting to modify one of my existing reports to produce a seperate "cutting
list" at the end of it.
Basically have 3 x user data entry panels
1. Order Entry Panel, 2. Door Calculation Panel, and 3.
Door Prehung Calculation Panel
Panel 2 is child of panel 1 and Panel 3 is child of Panel 2.
Currently Report is single level report based on Panel 1, with subreports
within Report body to show required data from Panel 2 and Panel 3. All is
fine and this report, with on-going modifications, has worked fine for
years.
Recently discovered supervisor in Factory has been manually producing a
cutting list for Door Frame jambs which is coming from the subreport/data
connected to Panel 3. He writes the data down manually in a slightly
different format with a couple of re-calculations.
Dataperfect can easily produce that data in his format within the subreport.
But..... What I would like to do is calcualte the cutting list as each item
is processed within the report but hold it over so that a seperate list is
printed at the end of the report containing all the required data relating
to Panel 3. Appreciate its easily achieved by running a separate report that
processes just the required data but that does rely on remembering to print
it. If the data required is stored in a report variable for each item I can
see no way of printing each items data, line by line, in the final footer or
at the end of the report (Preferably on a new page).
So I'm looking at maybe Two level reports, parallel reports or, if possible,
a report within a report - so all the info required is produced running just
a single report only once.
Thought I'd draw on this wonderful resource to see if what I want to do is
do-able before I spend too many hours reading through Ralph's Book and
trying to figure out best approach.
Hope the above makes some sense - any pointers would be much appreciated
Regards
Colin Roberts
