Report Group 1

[Salmano]

Hi. I have a report in foxpro 2.6a with this sections:
- header
- group (start)
- detail
- group (end)
- footer
My problem is that I have a 200 length field in the "group(start)" section and I do not have the "Stretch vertically" option for that field, as I have in "detail" section, so on the report only appear the first 80 characters.
How can I have the whole 200 length field appear on the report ?
Thank you.

Are you using a native FoxPro report or a second party report writer? FoxPro 2.6a has a "Group Header" not a "group (start)" section, and you would have the same option in both the "Group Header" and the "Detail" section for "Field Can Stretch."

I am using the native report editor in foxpro 2.6a.
When I duble-click the field in the group header (group start = group header) there are no "Stretch vertically" or "Float as band streches" check buttons as they exist in Detail section.

When I click on a field in a Group Header, I see the "Report Expression" dialog box. There is a section "Position Relative To" and the option "Top -- Field Can Stretch". What does your dialog box say?

Are in using FoxPro/DOS or FoxPro/Windows? In FP/W, I see the stretch option there. In FP/D, I don't.

I'm using FoxPro 2.6a for DOS. And yes Tamar, I have the same "symptoms": no stretch option for group header in FP DOS. That's why my 200 length data is cut to max. 80 chars.

I don't remember whether you can stretch a group header in FP/DOS, but one alternative is to move the header info into the detail band and mark it to not print repeated values.
