Multi-Column Report Display Problems

Mike Simpkins · Post by **Mike Simpkins** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:20 am

I created a two column report as follows:

Page Header
Group 1 Header (Printed on All Pages)
Group 2 Header
Group 3 Header
Data

The page is broken into 2 columns.

The report is organized correctly, and all data prints. However, I My Group 1 Header data creeps up the page in the second column.

Example:

Should be :

Code: Select all

                 TITLE

G1 Header          G1 Header
  G2 Header            G2 Header
     G3 Header             G3 Header
        Data                      Data

Here is what displays:

Code: Select all

                          G1 Header
                TITLE

G1 Header              
  G2 Header            G2 Header
     G3 Header             G3 Header 
        Data                  Data

In other words, Group 1 Header does not stay below the Page Header when it is printed in Column 2. It "creeps" on me. The same thing occurs whether I use a solid panel or a Report Header.

What am I doing wrong?

I have attached Sample Data as a CSV and an XML (this is a mssql query, so I did not know the format you wanted it in), a screen shot of the report behavior and the TaxGroups.mrt file.

I look forward to your help.

I downloaded the pre-release build, and I put the corresponding files into the root folder of the program POSitive Retail Manager, replacing the existing .dll's

I get an error regarding checksums or signatures when I do so.

Am I upgrading incorrectly?

Files overwritten:

Code: Select all

Simulsoft.base.dll
Simulsoft.Controls.dll
Simulsoft.Controls.Win.dll
Simulsoft.Database.dll
Simulsoft.Design.dll
Simulsoft.Editor.dll
Simulsoft.Report.dll
Simulsoft.Report.Design.dll
Simulsoft.Report.Helper.dll
Simulsoft.Report.Web.dll
Simulsoft.Report.Win.dll

Hello,

Please let us know the full error stack. Also, perhaps, you may address to developers of POSitive Retail Manager and ask them to recompile the application with new dll files.

Thank you.
