Hi,

I have the following requirement. The column title in the report output of a particular column must change based on the data in another column when a page break is used.

For example, I have a report page break by CAR_NAME. Now one column title in that report, has to be changed based on the data in another column. Basically the titles in the report at different pages will be different based on data. Is this possible?


Regards,
Cyril Joy.

I think the MacGyver Technique will work for you. The one in particular that I think is best is one called "All Things Different" written by Art Greenhaus and published in the Fall 1994 version of the old "Systems Journal Encyclopedia". I know that some of these techniques have been published in other places.

Trying searching the IBI website and see what you can find or see if the website has a reference to the publication I referred to.

I think this technique will be perfect for you.
