Hello,

I see that I cannot use more than one dataset in a report (actually I can, the problem is that the second dataset show always the same line, repeated for how many rows there are in the first one i.e.:

ds1 row1
ds1 row2
ds1 row3

ds2 row1
ds2 row1
ds2 row1
)

Previously I used two reports and combined them into a third one, i.e.:

with CombinedReport do
begin
   reports.clear;
   reports.add(FirstReport);
   reports.add(SecondReport);
   ....
end;

The problem is that the second report starts on a new page, while I need it to stay on the same page:

*** Report header (or page header on subsequent pages) --- first dataset header
... first dataset data
--- second dataset header
... second dataset data
**** page footer

The first dataset is supposed to occupy about half the page.

Is there a way to do that? How?

Bye

For the record:

in the report designer the band has a "Dataset" property and you can assign to it the name of a TRfDbDataset on the form. I tried that previously and it didn't seem to work. After some painful debugging (which involved a complete rebuild of the lazarus ide, don't ask me why, I'd like to know), I found out that the property value, in spite of being there in the lrf file, wasn't being read, but in the next debug session it was. Again, don't ask me why, but now everything seems to be ok.

Ouch, that last problem was my fault: since I embed the files as resources, and obviously without a rebuild it wouldn't work.
