Hello,
There is a discussion at [email protected].
We have problems to create a report about more than one pages.
We need a logo on the first page. and the group header on each page.
Details are displayed as a table.
In the properties of the headers I find a filed where I can input
expressions, but I don't know how to define them
It would be nice if all you needed was to enter this:
PageNumber() = 1
in the Conditional Print property...but nope...that dog doesn't hunt.
So
then maybe you could create your own function
MYCount as [MyCount] + 1
Then use in the conditional print property
[MyCount] = 1
Well that works for items in the detail section, even in a group header
BUT it does not work in a page header.
Bottom line, as best as I can ascertain is that conditional printing
does not work for Page Headers or items in page headers.
However there is a work around - ugly - but works.
Add an explicit Group to the report. (You know just type something like
"1" in the Group Dialog)
make this the first group, just below the page header, now turn off Page
Headers and use this GoupHeader instead.
Add your logo to the GroupHeader
Add this conditional statement to the GroupHeader Conditional Print property
IF(PageNumber()=1;TRUE;FALSE)
Actually that works for the actual ImageControl also..if you want other
thins in this 'quiasi' page header all the time.
Now add your normal groupings, if you want your normal group header only
on pages 2...n then reverse the logic of the conditional print statement.
Simple..
Want an example file, have that also, will attach it to the not yet
created entry in Issuzilla.

ps My example works with DEV310_m3 and SRB (LOL, hell if I know which
release of the SRB this is...I tried 1.1.xxx, Fix04, and finally the
build of the SRB from Pavel's server under the m3 directory, that's what
I have at this minute, but the version number I don't trust...)
pps. Can you really call the SRB an extension when it requires so many
changes to the baseline code - so just merge it into the baseline or
pull it all the way out [making fixes or workarounds in the SRB for
defects in the baseline code], either way but PLEASE - PLEASE pick one
of those two ways and just do it.
