Can't get breaks to work - Is this tool intuitive??

I've got a fairly simple report that lists company data, 1 per line, and I need to have a page break when the state changes. The report already exists without the state grouping and I don't have a clue how to get this to work. I've added the new group to the data section but can't seem to get it into the layout. Tried frames but can't get one to encompass the other groups/frames. It's always is placed at the same level as the others. I've tried move/send back/front in every conceivable combination. Is there any good documentation to help on this? I've spent days on this and am getting nowhere - and very frustrated. Seems this kind of thing should be a no-brainer for a report writer.

Hi Andy,
It sounds like you may need to turn off confine mode in order to have the back to front work. If you have Tools->Preferences->Runtime Settings->Run Debug turned off, then any warnings that you might get trying to do this with confine mode turned on might be surpressed.
In general, what I would try doing is turning on flex mode and using the frame select tool to grab the top most repeating frame and everything in it and move it a bit so you have some room to work in. You might also want to zoom in. Then create your new repeating frame so that it's bigger than the old repeating frame but smaller than whatever frame is enclosing it and move it to teh appropriate level. You'll probably have to turn confine mode off to do this. Once you have set at the right level according to the object navigator, you can still use flex mode while moving everything back to the correct place.
For getting the page break, just put a maximum of one record per page in the property palette of the new repeating frame. Hope this helps and it's not just a rehash of the stuff you've tried. I've done this before and it worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you too!
Cheers,Toby

  • Can't get paypal to work?  This may help.

    Well, 24 hours after my 32 GB ipod touch purchase, I am not an apple fan. I had a very typical experience, I have windows 7 32bit on a Dell XPS laptop M1530, I downloaded a fresh version of iTunes (9.2.1.5), I upgraded the ipod to newest version (iOS4). Why did I spend so much time getting this stuff to work? I did get it to work, but support was useless and blamed microsoft (in fact I didn't do all the steps correctly).
    Anyway a few things I figured out. Before you begin, you need a valid paypal account. You also need internet explorer. This doesn't work on Chrome for whatever reason. You can go to start menu -> Default programs to change web requests to open up IE instead of chrome (then just change it back when you are done with paypal activation).
    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery. From the menu bar at the very top of itunes, go to the store menu, and select 'activate my computer'. Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them. The only way to deactivate individual computers is to have them connected to the network and with itunes, and just go store -> deactivate computer. If the computer is not activated the process will also fail when paypal redirects back to the itunes app.
    Next, create/update your itunes account. When you get to the payment options, you select paypal. That launches a web browser. Again, chrome didn't work for me. You go through the paypal logins. When you are done you should get two warning messages, one to display only secure or all content (hit 'no'). The other warning mentions that you are launching an app from a web browser. Click allow (or yes or whatever).
    The process should bring you back to itunes purchase setup. Scroll down to the bottom, hit 'done'. To verify, I log out and log back in again, and look up your account info. It should have paypal. Note, once you get this set up, you don't really have to screw with it again I think.
    The other tidbit I have is that once you download the apps (click the price tag on the app) you need to sync your ipod. If you click on your ipod on the left menu, then click on apps, select all and click apply on bottom right of screen. That should work.

    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
    Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
    You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
    Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
    You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
    Next, create/update your itunes account.
    Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

  • I can't get inline to work for this simple function.

    I thought I understood [Inline] but my app says otherwise.
    I've been using [Inline] with great success for a few months now; however, this quick snippet of code won't [Inline] properly. I know this because I've ran numerous tests with the function looped 100,000 times and I'll get around 400ms with [Inline] and 400ms without [Inline].
    I could just be really sleepy and frustrated, but I thought I'd try and learn so that I wouldn't make the same mistake again. So here are the guts of the function in question:
    var shared:int = 0;
    var length:int = goodRegions[index].length;
    for ( var i:int = 0; i < length; ++i ) {
         rect = goodRegions[index][i];
         mRect.x = rect.x + masterX;
         mRect.width = rect.width;
         if ( mRect.x + mRect.width > sRect.x ) {
              shared = i;
              break;
    for ( var i:int = shared; i < length; ++i ) {
         rect = goodRegions[index][i];
         mRect.x = rect.x + masterX;
         mRect.y = rect.y + masterY;
         mRect.width = rect.width;
         mRect.height = rect.height;
         if ( sRect.x + sRect.width < mRect.x ) { break; }
    There are outside variables I didn't include because they are passed through the function parameters.
    I would greatly any help I can get understanding what I'm doing wrong.

    Ah you know what, I left out a line:
    for ( var i:int = shared; i < length; ++i ) {
         rect = goodRegions[index][i];
         mRect.x = rect.x + masterX;
         mRect.y = rect.y + masterY;
         mRect.width = rect.width;
         mRect.height = rect.height;
         if ( CheckForCollisions( mRect, sRect ) ) { <--------------------------- missing from original post
             if ( sRect.x + sRect.width < mRect.x ) { break; }
    Since posting I've actually played around with the removal of the extra function and it started to work properly. I don't understand why my Collision check was making the function ineligible for [Inline]...
    But maybe this would help:
    [Inline]
    private final function CheckForCollisions( rectA:Rectangle, rectB:Rectangle ):Boolean {
      return (( rectA.x < rectB.x + rectB.width - 2 && rectA.x + rectA.width > rectB.x + 2 ) &&
      ( rectA.y < rectB.y + rectB.height - 2 && rectA.y + rectA.height > rectB.y + 2 ));
    Is it inappropriate to use an inline function within another inline function? Oh and I'm multi-threading my physics code, so this is being ran on a separate thread/worker.

  • Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit it.  How do I fix this?

    Can't get Mail to work - I get the spinning wheel and Mail freezes.  I have to Force Quit Mail .  How do I fix this problem?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    Hi,
    Is there an iPhone involved ?
    If not, what happens  if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
    What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
    Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

    I have downloaded Skype from its main website for MAC, but still it says " can't open Skype. not supported on this Architecture" when i click on it.  I don't know why it wont. This isn't an old Desktop Mac computer, and Skype downloaded with no problems on my Mac Lap top. So what's wrong this time?
    Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

  • Port 8080: I know this is simple, I just can't get it to work.

    I'm trying something that I'm sure is relatively simple. But I just can't get it to work. I have OSX Server 10.4.10. I currently have my company site (www.example.com) hosted on it. But I'm trying to get another site hosted on it at port 8080. When I enter my company domain, www.example.com:8080, the page can't be displayed. But when I enter the IP address, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx:8080 from within my network, the correct site shows up. How can I get a website displayed at port 8080 from outside my network? I'm running DD-WRT on my router and have ports 80 and 8080 directed to the IP address of my server.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi WiFiNetGuy-
    I am a tad confused, which isn't new, but I need to get a grasp on exactly what it is that you are trying to do.
    Do you have both websites (i.e. www.example1.com and www.example2.com) both pointed at the same ip address? How many unique domain names and ip addresses are we talking about?
    From what you describe it sounds like a routing issue but I need more info (:>)
    Luck-
