Fun (not) with the report writer

OK. Here's my conundrum of the day.

I've got an invoice report. There are multiple group bands and multiple potential multi-line objects, and periodically I get just the right combination of text that I appear to get a 2 page report that should fit on one page. In the process of trying to figure out why this is happening, I've tried every trick I can think of including Cathy Putney's stretching of bands with dummy objects at the bottom of the bands, etc. No joy. I keep getting 2 pages. Then I dropped in the _pageno object in the header and my 2 pages are both appearing as page number 1... This has to be a clue but I figure it is time to call on the wisdom of the ProFox crowd as this one is driving me nuts.

A possible explanation for page 1 on both pages: do you have a grouping
set to restart the page number when the group breaks?

Certainly a possibility, Frank. I will check that. The odd part is there are no more detail rows at the point where I was getting the extra page. I eventually got this to a point where the extra page was suppressed, and the page number incremented properly, which was the object of the exercise. I still see the group header on a new page even after the last detail row prints but I need to let it sit for a bit before seeing if I can improve it more. Hours spent with the report writer can be a draining experience... 😊

Frank,
You say dropping the _Pageno results in both pages as page 1.... how do you know they are page 1 without printing _pageno?

Just an observation as I have also spent many, many happy hours (not) battling with the report writer... 😊

I think he was asking do I have any of the page number reset options set at the group level. I actually added the _pageno as a diagnostic tool whilst attempting to wrestle this beast into submission.

OK. Here's my conundrum of the day.
I've got an invoice report. There are multiple group bands and multiple potential multi-line objects, and periodically I get just the right combination of text that I appear to get a 2 page report that should fit on one page. In the process of trying to figure out why this is happening, I've tried every trick I can think of including Cathy Putney's stretching of bands with dummy objects at the bottom of the bands, etc. No joy. I keep getting 2 pages. Then I dropped in the _pageno object in the header and my 2 pages are both appearing as page number 1... This has to be a clue but I figure it is time to call on the wisdom of the ProFox crowd as this one is driving me nuts.
For problems like this I sometimes get my report program to write out my
final cursor contents to disk.Β  When you find one to stretches to 2
pages you can open this table in fox, then open your report and do a
preview and see if it goes to 2 pages.Β  For invoices you could just
write it out using the invoice number E.g. 123456.dbf possibly to a new
subfolder.Β  You can then clean them up easily.

Hi Richard,

you may want to test with the 32Bit version of VFPA ("A" as the hex
representation of "10")
There are some Reportwriter-related problems fixed:
http://baiyujia.com/vfpdocuments/default.asp

See http://baiyujia.com/vfpadvanced/f_vfpa_about.asp for infos and download
(you want to download the "VFP extended 32 bit" version)

For installation you need a valid VFP9 version installed, which the
installer then copies to a new VFPA directory and patches the EXE and DLLs
to the VFPA level. You need to do a "Recompile All" with your project, and
then copy the runtime file (now only one!) plus your new exe to your
customers directory. That's it.
