splitting the report into 2 halves

2006-05-28 23:40

hi,

 

I am new to iReport. Will someone kindly point me in the right direction.

 

i need a report that does the following:

 

Tables: Buyer and BuyerItem (buyer item descriptions)

 

In the detail section i need the report to show:

 

 

---------------------------------------------

Summary Details

total sales: $xxxx | item 1 $xxx

less paid $xxxx | item 2 $xxx

net $xxxx | item 3 $xxx

item 4 $xxx

item 5 $xxx

item 6 $xxx

----------------------------------------------

 

The item list on the right can flow into the next page as each buyer can purchase many items.

But the summary (on the left) of report can only occur once on the first page of the report.

 

What do i need to do ?

 

 

I have a copy of the latest iReport official manual. Don't seem to find the answer in there.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Tony
