Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Invoice Report not breaking on customer? Even though "selected"....

    Hello

    Just when you think it's safe - lol

    I have an INVOICE report -
    It has been selected to group all the same CUSTOMER in the invoice -
    or should I say thats what I want it to do? Upon selecting the report "Invoice Rock 0601" and entering the 2116 (code inv#) It selects those records = 2116. The report is supposed to go out and print - ie

    APAC-TYR
    Info totals etc
    grand total

    skip to the next page because new CUSTOMER has an invoice/code = 2116


    VULCAN
    Info totals etc
    grand total

    skip to the next page because a new CUSTOMER has an invoice/code = 2116

    ZZZ
    info totals etc
    grand total

    and so forth..

    Anyway - what it is currently doing is not separating the customer - it's combining them all into one long invoice and totaling. I thought I had everything correct but apparently not. I have been trying so many different things and none are working.

    Would anyone be so kind to look at my file and the report structure?
    It all seems correct but the break per CUSTOMER not working.

    Regards

    Actually you have the report set to break first on invoice date, then within invoice date on truck #, and finally within those to break on customerid.

    You can change the break on expression for any group to see if that yields your desired output. Probably wise to save a copy of the report and experiment with that.

      The file I located had the wrong groups - I experimented with this all-day...

      Group by -
      Customer
      Jobname
      Date
      Truck#
      Ticket Tons Rate
      Total
      Grand Total

        Are you saying the issue is resolved or do you need to post a revised sample?

          I'm saying it took me all day in order to get it to break at the proper point -
          It has been resolved - other than the page # display to break according to the customer id and their invoice.

          In other words "APAC - TY" invoice is 3 pages long then VULCAN invoice comes up to print and it is 2 pages long. Can you set the page # displayed to automatically adjust to start over after each invoice prints?

            George,

            Create a page footer for your group and put the page number there.

            Good luck

              Hello

              I do have a page footer defined for Group "Custidno" but it still wants to print page 1 of 22 - no separate after each invoice (Customer)...

              Thanx

                George,

                What is the code for your page number field object? Is it based on the group?

                Code:
                pageno          = pageno(grp->spec_pg_no)
                grp->spec_pg_no = alltrim(str(page_count(5),0))

                  Hello -

                  Not sure what your code dictates - I think your creating a grp called Spec_pg_no telling it the specifications and the pageno is based upon that group.

                  I had "system date" contained within the page footer for custidno. Once I added calc field pageno to the group it started displaying the different page numbers associated with the custidno.

                  PAGENO= PAGENO(grp->custidno)

                  Now if I could figure out why it is starting a new page number when the "jobname" changes.. I must have it breaking on jobname also...

                  Appreciate your help -

                    Hi George,

                    You are correct that there must be something in the report design for the jobname. If you are unable to get the page numbering to work the way you need it to, post your table/set that the report is based on and we can take a look for you.

                    Good luck
                    Cheryl

                        Create a calculated field with whatever name you want and the expression.

                        pageno(grp->custidno)

                        Place that in the group custidno footer below the calculated field you have labeled "Grand Total". This will print the total number of pages for each custidno, resetting each time custidno changes.
                        There can be only one.

                          Stan that is how it is set up -
                          It prints pages for an invoice but once it gets to the grand total it identifies it as page 1.

                          Sorry Stan but I'm just gonna tell them it can't be done... worked on this report for far to long for them...

                            Perhaps you are not familiar with what area is the group footer. Your screenshot shows the field placed in the page footer. Place that field in the next higher band.

                              I thought I was doing sooooo well - but then REPORTS - what a Frickin mess..
                              When I do as you request it prints no page number on any of the pages until the total grand sum page - which to you and I is correct -

                              invoice 1, invoice 2 etc.... but noooo they want page 1, page 2, page 3 and then when a new invoice starts page 1, page 2, page 3 ....

                              I'm still tryin to figure out why I'm gettin a blank page at the beginning of my page and in between each invoice - I have trim selected in report options..

                              -looking for a clue....
                              -UNCLE- as he screams
