data report of vb6 - page header problem...

[jeanette_db]

i have a report wherein some data in the page header section change everytime the value of a certain field changes...

example:
the data is grouped by batch#....

if batch# field's value = 001
the header becomes = 'RECEIPTS REGISTER'
if the value = 002
the header becomes = 'INVENTORY SUMMARY'
... AND so on....

the batch# is in the details section...
the header is in the page header section....

then, after every changes in batch# field, there is a page break...

how will i manipulate it? i am using vb6's data report... anybody help me out? i really need it badly....

Try this!

Dim rptDataReport As DataReport1
    Dim strHeader As String
    
    Set rptDataReport = New DataReport1
    
    If BatchNo = "001" Then
        strHeader = "RECEIPT REGISTER"
    Else
        strHeader = "INVENTORY SUMMARY"
    End If
    
    rptDataReport.Sections("Section4").Controls.Item("lblHeader").Caption = strHeader
    rptDataReport.Show

BTW, you should have a rptLable in the header section (Section4) of the datareport and name it "lblHeader". Or whatever you call it....

thanks for that but i dont think it will work the way i want it.
i want a report wherein everytime the batch# changes,
it will print to the next page and its header changes too....

how can i do this?
