I am having a problem with a report, and am at my wits end. I am trying to learn Quick Reports fast, as I have never used it before, to build a report for my company, and I need an answer quickly so as to meet a deadline. Here is the key to the format and the format itself: Key: L## = Columns (01 = Supplier, 02 = Address, 03 = Active, 04 = Primary, 05 = Contact, 06 = Active, 07 = Phone, 08 = Type, 09 = Active, 10 = Primary, 11 = Service, 12 = Active, 13 = Included, 14 = Waiting List, 15 = Hours) D## = Fields (01 = Supplier, 02 = Hours, 03 = Address1, 04 = Address2, 05 = City, 06 = State-Zip, 07 = Active, 08 = Primary, 09 = Contact, 10 = Job Title, 11 = E-mail, 12 = Method, 13 = Active, 14 = Phone, 15 = Type, 16 = Active, 17 = Primary, 18 = Service, 19 = Active, 20 = Included, 21 = Waiting List) Format: L01 L02 L03 L04 L05 L06 L07 L08 L09 L10 L11 L12 L13 L14 D01 L15 D02 D02 D02 D03 D07 D08 D09 D13 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D04 D10 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D05 D11 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D06 D12 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D03 D07 D08 D09 D13 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D04 D10 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D05 D11 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D06 D12 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D09 D13 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D10 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D11 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D12 D14 D15 D16 D17 D18 D19 D20 D21 D18 D19 D20 D21 D18 D19 D20 D21 D18 D19 D20 D21 You can see how involved this is. For each supplier there can be zero to many of each of the following: Hours, Addresses, Contacts, Phones, and Services. I am thinking that I need to use a master/ detail report with group and sub-detail bands, but I am having trouble setting it up. The documentation for Quick Reports 3 leaves a lot as exercises for the user. Any help from any of you knowledgeable users would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the key to the format and the format itself: snip Matt, what datasources are you using? Delphi version? windows? (not that it'd matter much but surely helps *smiles*) You're right. A master-detail report would probably do it right (as i understand it). Add a detailband and a subdetailband. Your detailband is your master and the subdetailband will be the detail (addresses) band. Set quickreport's datasource to your master datasource and the subdetail's datasource to your "addresses" datasource. NOTE that this will *not* automatically set the relations. Set the relations (M-D) on the dataset level or set a range on the detail table on master's datachanged or something. HTH. Do drop me a line if you need a hand with anything. --- Dhaval Shah Sr. Software Developer Perth, Australia Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi Reporting-Charting All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
