Multiple Grouping Collpase Issue

Hi,
Im running RS2000 and here is my problem:
I have a report that basically displays a multi-grouped report that
looks like this:
WEBSITE1
--ITEM CATEGORY1
--ITEM TYPE1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn3
--ITEM TYPE2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn3
--ITEM TYPE3
--ITEM INFORMATIOn1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn3
--ITEM CATEGORY2
--ITEM TYPE1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn1
--ITEM INFORMATIOn2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn3
--ITEM TYPE2
--ITEM INFORMATIOn1
etc.
Now what I have as the initial state looks like :
[+]WEBSITE1
[+]WEBSITE2
whent 1 of those are expanded it should look like this:
[ -]WEBSITE1
--[+]ITEM CATEGORY1
--[+]ITEM CATEGORY1
[+]WEBSITE2
And it expands all the way down to item information.
The problem occurs on startup, It shows website 1 and website 2 on 2
different pages.
What's worse, it shows them a few pages apart since there is "invisble"
content in the pages in between.
Is there a way to make the report on one page ONLY?
1) I know there is 1-page HTML option
2) The try to make the report on 1 page property didnt work
Is there some other way to do this?Check to make sure you do not have each group start a new page...

issue of it going on to the 3rd or 4th page.
I would have thought that the initial state of collapsed would have placed
it on 1 page though. Guess it was being intelligent and expected the user
to expand all pages.

Multiple grouping and blank pages

I have a report with 2 types of grouping. The first is monthly and the second is basically a grand total. I want to have the report with 1 page per month with the grand total on the last page. Everything is in one table object, with two groups in the table footer.

The problem that I have is that if I put "Page Break After" on my Monthly grouping the total is going to end up on a different page at the end. If I put "Page Break Before" I get a blank page at the start. Anyone got a idea of how to get myself out of this?

Make sure the table starts from the top of the report, i.e. don't leave any empty space before the table. Then you shouldn't get the blank page.

We are working on improving this (adding a "page break between" feature) for the future releases.

Multiple Columns from WHERE?

Hey all,
I was curious if this was possible...
I basically have 2 queries I'd like to combine into one. The only difference in the queries is one clause in the WHERE statement

so here is an idea of what I'm talking about

SELECT COUNT(*) as HighStock FROM products WHERE qty > 100

now lets say I needed to do one for low I would have to run that query 2 times with different alias's and change the qty...

is there a way to get all that in one result set? Something like

SELECT COUNT(*) as HighStock, COUNT(*) as LowStock FROM products WHERE qty > 100 AND LowStock = qty < 20

so then my result would be
HighStock LowStock
50 10

anyone have any clues on that? thanks! :)We're going to take what Bugs Bunny used to call "a left turn at Albuquerque" on you to get to the same place:SELECT Sum(CASE WHEN qty > 100 THEN 1 END) AS HighStock
, Sum(CASE WHEN qty < 20 THEN 1 END) AS LowStock
FROM products-PatP|||Pat Phelan ur logic is gr8!! hats off 2 u|||hey Pat!
thanks a million, it actually worked :)
appreciate your help on that one!|||No problem! Always glad to do what I can to confuse things. ;)

-PatP|||PAt. Ur logic is gr8..Hats off to u|||Oh, that wascally Pat! Ain't he a stinker?|||Oh, that wascally Pat! Ain't he a stinker?He he he he he!

-PatP|||Hey Pat...
is it possible to add a DISTINCT to that sum statement somewhere? like give me the Sum(CASE WHEN qty > 100 THEN 1 END WHERE DISTINCT(myfield))
?
I'm sure that syntax is way off but I hope you get my meaning. I Appreciate your help on this one :)|||Ummm... Nope, clear as mud.

-PatP|||Pat, do you have any possible solutions as a workaround? It seems that I have to split up my query into a temp table get the distinct values into it, then query against the temp table. I was hoping to avoid having to make 4 seperate queries. thanks again|||I don't have any clue what you are asking, so I can't answer. I strongly suspect that there is a way to solve your problem, once I understand what you want.

An example would help a lot, showing a dozen or less rows of data, and the result set that you expect to be returned based on that data.
