What makes up a report - Terms Band style reports have this basic style: For example:
TIP #2 Before we deal with Grouping, let's discuss the Detail band, which is the next band in the printing order. The Detail Band is the most important band in the report because it is where most of your data-aware components are placed. It can be stretched to cover a whole page and therefore become a type of Nonbanded report, or it can be removed if you are only printing a summary report without any details.
Next in the list is the Group Footer which handles any subtotals related to the grouping of the data. If you want each group to be printed on one page with the next group starting on the following page, then put a new page command in the Group Footer's After Print event.
For Example: QuickRep1.NewPage;
TIP #3 The next band is the Summary Band which prints only at the end of the report. Like the Title, if you want the Summary Band to print on it's own page, you will need to insert a newpage command in the BeforePrint event so that the Summary begins on a separate page.
TIP #4 The final band printed is the page footer. This usually prints on each page at the bottom and, if you want it to, will print after the Summary Band. Page Headers and page footers are great places to put repeating information such as print date, page number, Company name, etc.
