Tab Control Sub-report with Different Sized Pages

Hi,

I have a report that includes some common data followed by a subreport
which is made up of a tab control with 3 pages of different lengths,
each displaying different information depending on a code in the input
record. Ideally I would like each to be printed to its correct length.

However, each one prints to the length of the longest page which leaves
an ugly gap in the report.

In the main report I've set the detail and the sub-report controls to
grow or shrink. In the Sub-report I've set the detail to grow or
shrink.

Is there something that I've missed or will the tab control always
print at maximum length?

Any help would be very welcome. Thanks.

_Tab Control_ in a report? That seems a strange combination to me -- Tab
Controls allow the user to click on a Tab to select the Tab Page that is to
be displayed. Access reports don't allow user interaction, so that can't be
the purpose.

I'd suggest you design your Report as a Report, not as though it were a
Form, and avoid the problem.

Hi all, I have this project to use the ADODB control to acces and manipulate the Access DB. I amd the mistake of first doing this project with just the data control. It worked fine with this control.

When I click on the lookup, it brings up the...

Hi, been a while since I posted a question myself instead of trying to help others out. I'm refactoring an existing web app that uses dynamic loading of user controls and a lot of response.redirects to the same page. Because I hate the overhead by doing this I'm searching for a cleaner option. But I'm having troubles (off course or I wouldn't be posting this).

I have a form on which user controls are placed at runtime. When a control is added to the form a handler is added for an event that a high-level object raises, which must be handled by the new control. When I close the form I am expecting that the control ceases to be. However, if my object raises the event after the form has been closed, I find that there is still a user control object that handles it. Clearly the user control has not...

In a VB.Net Windows Forms application, I have a user control that handles mouse events. Another section of code programmatically adds a label to the control. I would like label to ignore all events allowing the user control to react to the mouse click. Setting the Enabled property on the label to False comes close, but I don't want the font color to change. Does anyone have an idea how .NET implements the code behind the Enabled...

Executes the program specified in the ini on the client's PC. After the program has ended the control looks in a client side temp folder (specified by the ini file) for an image created by the executed program. If the image is there, then the control moves the file to a public folder...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
