I need to make face sheets for information about people that will be 3-4 pages long for each person and could easily have 500 non-repeating, unrelated data items in a variety of text, columns, formats, checkboxes and tables. All the views and basic reports built for those views work great.
Problems come when I start building these exact same report formats into subreports. 1. The first 3 subreports work perfect using Shiftrelative. These subreports have a short title in the page header section and the detail sections work well. 2. Starting with subreport 4 (which is built just like the others), problems start up. The page header simply goes away or details only show the first line. 3. Subreports 5+ simply do not show up in Preview. Deleting subreport2 and rebuilding it with the view used for subreport 4 works perfectly. Creating a new subreport 4 using the view used for the deleted subreport 2, results in the same data drop out. Looking through each subreport structure I cannot find any difference except Shiftrelative. Visible and Show Data is on. Is there a limitation in how many subreports can be in a single R:Base report? It would be great if each subreport acted like a self contained shell that could be stacked with other subs while linked by a common field. Or...is it better to simply skip the subreports for what I am trying to do? At the Indy SAT, it was suggested (if I recall right) to print sections of the report to RTF and save them to a table as Varchar and recombine the sections as variables in a final report. Being a really dim bulb that day has not helped in understanding this concept. Is there an available example that shows how this works?
