Re: Problem with Page Footer showing up on Top of the Page

Post by John21 »

Hello,

I have some more questions that are based on the beginning of this topic.

Let me show you the structure of the reports to hopefully make it more clear:

(External Template)
Report1:
SubReport1

(Main Report)
Report2:
PageHeaderBand1
Panel1
PageFooterBand1

SubReport1 is actually Report2 as it uses Report1 as an External Template. Our program currently works in a way that doesn't allow to create reports without an External Template.

Here is how the External Template looks like:
How the external template looks like in the designer

Now, I tried using the External Template to put the header/footer components there, but because I need data fields there (and I can't seem to figure that out), my approach is to place everything in the main report (Report2).

When I place the header/footer in Report2 as in this picture:

I expect i to print the same way, but instead it looks like this:
how the report looks like printed
how the report looks like printed
print.png (8.53 KiB) Viewed 976 times
Could this be caused because of the SubReport in the External template? Should I tell my team to work on a solution where the External Template is optional rather than obligatory?

Thank you.
