RE: [DUG]: Very Strange Quick Report
It is strange, if I tell the detail band to not print the the summary band does not get filled with the correct values. I have a lot of reports that set the band height to 0. If it is 0, then there should be no room for anything to display. Lucky I found that setting the Enabled property to False worked. But it is strange since the other reports still work fine, and they just set the band height to 0.

RE: [DUG]: Very Strange Quick Report
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Not to me :) A detail band will be generated for every single record in your datasource (this is normal), quickreport probably does this even if the band height is set to 0. I don't know how it saves the QRP file, but presumably it must have an image for x number of zero-height detail bands all on top of each other. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Chris Crowe > Sent: Tuesday, 6 April 1999 12:04 > To: Multiple recipients of list delphi > Subject: RE: [DUG]: Very Strange Quick Report > > > I set the band.Enabled property to false and the problem went > away.

RE: [DUG]: Very Strange Quick Report
I set the band.Enabled property to false and the problem went away. The other reports to not have this set. Very very Strange.

[DUG]: Very Strange Quick Report
Hi all, I have a rather strange quick report that I created. I have a summary band which has a lot of summary fields, about 25 of them. They use function in the Expression component to do their work. I have two modes of displaying the report. 1) Show the detail band and all records (about 17 pages) 2) Do not show the detail band. I set the heigh of the detail band to 0, and then run my report as usual. Now the problem is with #2, the detail band with a height of 0 is showing the records really fast overwriting each other at the top of the report after the page header. Then after about 3-5 seconds of this my summary band is displayed. If I move a window over the preview near where the scrolling was it starts again. This is after the report is generated. If I save the report to a quick report file, it is over 2 megs, even though the summary is only about 10 lines. And in my external previewer it also shows the scrolling when the report is loaded. Any ideas?, I have used this method for about 20 other reports with no problems. This report is pretty standard as far as what it does but this behaviour is wierd.
