VFP6 Reporter: Grouping and Page Header

[BeeBaw]

I'm very new to Fox, more used to VB and Crystal, so be gentle with me...

I have a report with 2 groupings, the 2nd one is optional depending on parameters. A problem occurs using both groups when the detail and last group total appears near the bottom of a page. The Report total appears on next page, but the Page Header does not. Using the same report and same data without passing second grouping parameter, the page header appears correctly.

Other info:

There is no conditional formatting on page header at all.

Moving the 2nd group slightly resolves it for the data in use, but as soon as you add or remove a line of data, it happens again.

I've looked on MSDN to see if this is a known issue, but with no luck.


Any help greatly appreciated.

HI
You can use reprint header details option.
Hope this helps ramani :-9

Unfortunately it didn't, I already had this option turned on (I guess you're talking about the option on Report\Data Grouping?).

It's a puzzler ;-)

Since you have no conditional code for printing the page header there's no reason for it not to print at the top of each page. This is a FoxPro bug, and I've seen it before.

To work around it, use the "Start group on new page when less than" option in the Data Grouping dialog box.
