Printing subheaders across multiple pages

[nem30151]

Hello to all,

I tryed everything I know but cannot solve this problem:

I'm making a report where I want to sort by school name then display the teacher name and for each teacher a list of students.

The report look like this

Header

school name

adress

and an introductory text

subsummary by school ID (empty only for sort purposes)

subsummary by date to come (empty like above)

subsummary by teacher (name of the teacher and the date)

John Smith Date to come xx-xx-xxxx

body with the list of the students that belong to a particular teacher.

student 1

student 2

.

.

.

student n

So far it work perfectly and the sort order is school ID, date, teacher, and student name.There is a break for each different school and the different teachers (and students) are consecutive. However when the body of a particular teacher is too long (too many students) it goes to next page and keep printing the list. The question is: there is a way to repeat the subheader of the teacher on the next page so don't look so weird (like something is missing)?

Thanks in advance for any help I can receive

Best regards

Was there a solution to this?

Just include the fields that you want to display in the page header.

I have a similar issue with jobs that have sub components where a job may have 1 or 50 components so they sometime fit on a page and sometime not. I am using sub summaries to show the job number and name before the components and have been requested to have the job name repeat at the top of the next page if the group of job components breaks across a page. The problem is often a new job starts at the top of the page so you get the job name information twice once in the header and once in the sub summary.

Any ideas on how to do this?

One of the things you can do is keep a running count of records within each subsummary part. If the count is 1, that means you are at the first record, and you don't want the information to be printed in the header. So, You make the information in the header a calculated field with a formula like:

Case(ItemNumber=1,"",BreakField & " ....cont")

I attached a sample file that shows how to do it.
