The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a
SYMPTOMS
Group header information prints incorrectly when all of the following are
true:
- The group is defined to start on a new page.
- The group header is defined to print on every page.
- The group footer is the only band that prints on the last page of the
group.
In this case, the group header information printed on the last page of the
group is actually the header information for the next record. In Visual
FoxPro version 5.0, the group header does not print at all in this case.
WORKAROUND
This workaround does not apply to Visual FoxPro version 5.0. There does not
appear to be a workaround to make the group footer print in the case
described above.
- Add a field to the Group Header. Set the field expression to a variable
(for example, "repx").
- Add a field to the Group Footer. Set "Print Only When Expression is
True" to .F. and "Field Expression" to a UDF (for example, "letsgo()").
- In the UDF type the following:
repx=AGROUPS(i) &&agroups is array that holds group header info.
IF i<ALEN(agroups)
i=i+1
ENDIF
RETURN
- Create a program for calling the report. Type the following into the
prg:
Select <insert fieldname of group> from <insert tablename> ;
Group by <insert fieldname of group> into array agroups
i=2
