Master-Detail report only returns master rows if detail present

I followed the instructions in the User Manual to create a simple master-detail report.

The problem I am having is that if there is no detail data, the master row does not print.

I need the master row to always print because there may not be detail data for the record.

As a simple example, suppose I have a report that shows a list of customers (Master) and the date they last changed their information (Detail).

John Doe
Mary Doe
---> update 10/21/2011
---> update 8/1/2001
Kim Smith

In my example above, John and Kim do not print. Only Mary. I need everyone to print regardless if they changed their address.

How do I achieve this?

hi,

you have to set the 'print if detail empty' property in the master data band.
