Hi,

I have a report, that prints detail lines over some pages.
How can I place
- a hint "See next page" at bottom, if there are such pages
- a hint "See prevoius page" at top, if there are such pages.

Regards,
Christoph

I don't kno how to do this, because the report needs some data. This issue is IMHO too simple for providing sample report+data.
If have a simple report with one Detail band, nothing else. The report is able to print 25 lines with out page break.
What I need:
a) If the datasource contains more then 25 lines:
- At bottom of the first page an text "see next page"
- At top of the second page an text "see prevois page"

How to do this?
I tryd to do this in page footer, but the page footer is printed before the details, so I can't evaluate an line counter for an condition (e.g.).
Ist there an band , wich ist rendered before an page brak, but after the details band?

Hello, Christoph.

Please, try to set the Process At property of the text component on the Footer to End Of Page.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

thanks, "Process At" is the right direction. The expression ist evaluated as expected. But the condition isn't :-(
Before/AfterPrint does not work too.
The good news is, because I can write a workaround with the IIF()- function, my problem is solved for this time.
It would be nice, if the condition can be evaluated in future releases.

Regards,
Christoph

Good. Usually, it's possible to use many way to do the same thing in our product

Could you specify how do you want to use condition? Please, send us a sample report template for analysis.

Thank you.

The condition uses the expression. Lets say, the expression is called "ProductCount". If I write an condition like "ProductCount > 0", the condition is always false, "ProductCount" is always zero.
Is this clear enough?

Hello, Christoph.

Sorry, but we need a sample that reproduces the issue to solve it.

Thank you.
