Working with nested reports
326 DataWindow .NET
3 Check the new width in the Preview view.
When you Print preview a DataWindow that contains a nested N-Up report
with newspaper columns across the page, you might find that blank pages
display (and print) when the nested report in the detail band fills the page. This
is because any white space at the bottom of the band is printed to a second page.
You can usually solve this problem by dragging up the detail band to eliminate
the white space between the nested report and the band, or even to overlap the
bottom of the representation of the nested report.
Changing a nested report from one report to another
You can change the nested report that is used. For example, you may work on
several versions of a nested report and need to update the version of the nested
report that the composite or base report uses.
❖ To change the nested report to a different report:
1 Select the nested report in the Design view.
2 In the Properties view, General property page, click the button next to the
Report box.
3 Select the report you want to use, and click OK.
The name of the report that displays in the box in the Design view changes
to the new one.
Modifying the definition of a nested report
You can modify the definition of the nested report. You can do this directly
from the composite report or base report that contains the nested report.
❖ To modify the definition of a nested report from the composite report or
base report:
1 Position the pointer on the nested report whose definition you want to
modify, and display the pop-up menu.
2 Select Modify Report from the pop-up menu.
The nested report opens and displays in the painter. Both the composite or
base report and the nested report are open.
3 Modify the report.
