Number of copies in RTC reports

DenSter

I want to create a new sales invoice report, nothing fancy, straight forward header line report, with an Integer dataitem for number of copies. I add the NoCopies variables to the request page, which shows up in the RTC (which I was really happy that I was able to make that work \:D/ ). When I let it suggest a layout, it shows me a header and a body section. The thing is though, that when I enter 2 copies, it shows the header, and then it repeats the lines 2 times.

Does anybody know how the number of copies works in the RTC reports? I've looked at the standard sales invoice report, which has this working, but for the life of me I can't figure out where all the controls come from and go to.

Any links to tutorials on the Visual Studio layout designer would be welcome too

Here is an example I just created.

As far as what you need to before creating the layout is that you need to add a text box (hiden that has source expression as CopyNo.

Then Suggest the Layout. The suggestion creates the header and the body in RDL You need to click in the body section and select Insert Group.

The Right click on the new group and select Edit Group.

Enter in Group on Expression Invoice No. and CopyNo.Value as the screnshot below.



Make sure you check the Page break at start and Repeat group header.

I can't paste the report as text in here because it's longer tan 65 K characters.


Can we attach text files on mibuso? Please?

No, you can't.

BUT you can zip it and send it to anyone you want in a PM! \:D/

ara3n

you could save it to googlepages or some where & post the link to the text file.

Thanks a lot ara3n - I was able to use your screenshots to create my page copies, 5 minutes of searching and 3-4 tries and it worked, this is great!

Thanks again!
