David:
Thanks for the answers. I was curious why I hadn't gotten a response for
days on my questions.
Now I see the AllColumns report, and I see that everything below it is in
its own region. But in that report, the located DBMemo has a tall located
space (more than 1 row). I don't want to allocate a fixed amount of space
because there's lots of detail rows on each page. So I assume the AllColumns
report would also work even if the DBMemo was scrunched down to one row?
I'll have to play with it, but if someone knows...
Karen
I didn't see any answers to your questions, so I'll offer what help; I can.
I find this whole area of reports still the most confusing piece of an otherwise terrrific package and upgrade from previous releases.
I can't answer questions 1 and 3, but can offer some help on 2. Take a look at the report AllColumns in the sample RBTI Concomp database that comes with 7.x.
The key is not that the that the DBmemo must be in the region, but that all elements BELOW it that should shift down when the dbmemo is large should be in a region! Each of those elements IN the region are marked as Keep Together so they stay with the region. Then the REGION is marked to ShiftRelativeTo the MEMO above it.
Razzak, can you jump in to indicate if I've got this right and to offer further clarification on the other questions for Karen?
