BUG: Multiple Group Headers with REPORT FORM NEXT 1

ID: Q114157

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.5, 2.5a, 2.5b, 2.6
Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh, version 2.5b

SYMPTOMS

In reports with several data groupings, if a group spills over to the next page, the Detail band of the first record will be ignored. The group information of the second record will print instead, followed by the second record's Detail band.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

For any record other than the first, the NEXT 1 clause works correctly. This problem will also not appear if you are using the Page Preview command on the Report menu.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open FoxPro and create a report.

2. Create at least two data groupings for the report, with headers large

   enough to overflow to the next page.

3. Save and close the report.

4. In the Command window, type the following commands:

      GO TOP   & This malfunctions only on the first record.
      REPORT FORM <yourname> NEXT 1 PREVIEW

The first record's grouping will appear, followed by the second record's grouping, followed by the second record's Detail band. This error will not appear if NEXT 1 is removed. It also will not occur if you are previewing the page in the Report Writer.
