Freeform report scrolling limit? (Read 1401 times)

	I'm designing a freeform report to, basically, print an Invoice to the browser. I seem to have reached a point where I can no longer scroll to the right in the designer window, which is going to be a problem because I have a whole bunch more elements to add. Help, please?

I think 2.0.4 expands those limits. Meanwhile, can you reduce the number of elements by concatenating some of the values in SBasic?

OK, but don't the elements that are joined together still have to appear on the report (albeit marked as invisible)? If so, can then be tossed into group headers and footers?

What you can do is set the Group header to break when ever a unique value changes and then use the Group Header and Group body together. The Header will print first and then the Body will Print. Do not use the Group Footer as it will display data from the next record. -Ray

	If I can use multiple group headers filled with invisible elements that are joined together by programmed value elements residing in the group body, I think I can make it work. Maybe a separate group header for each "section" of the report. I'm envisioning approximately eight "sections" comprising approximately nine elements each, plus all the spacing and newlines. The report would be run on only a single record.

	If you need multiples of them just use @Text() -Ray
