Topic: Problem with Underlay Following Section Posted: 15 Jul 2014 at 9:31am
I am have a report with a section in a group that contains a subreport. I need that subreport to show beside the details section as if two columns. I set the "Underlay following Section" option and this works great as long as the subreport is not multiple pages. If the subreport spans multiple pages, the details section will not show up until the last page of the subreport. I need both to always show at the beginning, side-by-side. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help. What you suggested does work, however, I added in the underlay to fix another issue I was having. Maybe if I explain my initial issue someone will have an alternative to using underlay.
I have a 2 column report using subreports. Below is how I originally had it laid out:
GH1a->
Sub Report 1 Sub Report 2
GH1b->
Sub Report 3
GH1c->
Sub Report 4
GH1d->
Sub Report 5
Having it formatted this way, causes Sub Report 3 to NOT print directly underneath Sub Report 2, when Sub Report 1 is longer than Sub Report 2. Basically there is a big gap, which is not desired. I need to have sub reports 2-5 flow one after another without any gaps.
Report output without using underlay:
Sub Report 1 Detail 1 Sub Report 2 Detail 1
Sub Report 1 Detail 2 Sub Report 2 Detail 2
Sub Report 1 Detail 3 Sub Report 2 Detail 3
Sub Report 1 Detail 4
Sub Report 1 Detail 5
Sub Report 1 Detail 6
Sub Report 3 Detail 1
Sub Report 3 Detail 2
Sub Report 4 Detail 1
Sub Report 4 Detail 2
Sub Report 5 Detail 1
Sub Report 5 Detail 2
I need to have it output as follows:
Sub Report 1 Detail 1 Sub Report 2 Detail 1
Sub Report 1 Detail 2 Sub Report 2 Detail 2
Sub Report 1 Detail 3 Sub Report 2 Detail 3
Sub Report 1 Detail 4 Sub Report 3 Detail 1
Sub Report 1 Detail 5 Sub Report 3 Detail 2
Sub Report 1 Detail 6 Sub Report 4 Detail 1
Sub Report 4 Detail 2
Sub Report 5 Detail 1
Sub Report 5 Detail 2
When laying it as follows, I get my desired output until Sub Report 1 goes to a 2nd page.
GH1a-> (Underlay following sections is checked
Sub Report 1
GH1b->
Sub Report 2
GH1c->
Sub Report 3
GH1d->
Sub Report 4
GH1e->
Sub Report 5
I hope this all makes sense. Again thank you for your help.
