BUG: Incorrect Group Header Information in Report

ID: Q158251


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 6.0


SYMPTOMS

Group header information prints incorrectly when all of the following are true:

  • The group is set to start on a new page.


  • The group header is set to print on every page.


  • The group header and footer are the only bands that print on the page (no detail printed).


In this case, the group header information printed on the current page of the group is actually the header information for the next record.

             check When This Group Changes
             check When Detail Overflow to New Page/Column 


  2. Field(s) in the Group Footer remains the same.
