Help Detail section fixed rows!!

[crustas]

Hello

I have a problem in seting the max number of rows in the detail section. I have N (N can take any value bigger than zero) components for each product_id , but i want to split in to groups of 8 (for labeling purposes). I've have tried several aproaches to this problems and nothing it keeps the same, show allways all the rows not only 8 as i pretended. I would like that someone could bring me some light to the problem.

For example for a product_id with 15 rows of subcomponents:

What i have
LABEL NUMBER 1
product id (product header)
xxxxxxxxx
components (detail section)
1 xxxxxx
2 xxxxxx
...
15 xxxxxx

what i want
LABEL NUMBER 1
product id (product header)
xxxxxxxxx
components (detail section)
1 xxxxxx
2 xxxxxx
...
8 xxxxxx

LABEL NUMBER 2
product id (product header)
xxxxxxxxx
components (detail section)
9 xxxxxx
10 xxxxxx
...
15 xxxxxx


Thanks in advance

Open the report and select the sorting/grouping button.
1. Enter the field you want to group(e.g. Label Number)
2. Under the group on select "interval"
3. Under the group interval select "8"
4. Under the Keep together select "with first detail"

Hope this works...
