activereports - Programmatically repeat "Detail" section in Active Reports -
i need repeat "detail" section, repeating data found in xml, based on value of 1 of xml elements.
example:
i have shipped quantity on line item of 18. there 1 set of data in xml, not repeated 18 times. display data 18 times.
is there way programmatically repeat section? i'm total novice , figured once i'd ask here instead of going software vendor, in case learn nothing! tried pouring on 800+ page manual , couldn't find answer.
any solution i'm not repeating detail section of course welcome!
the report coded in vb.net, dataset xml.
thanks in advance!

i understand requirement , per understanding wish repeat data in detail section depending on value of 'shipped quanity'.
if value 18, details section should repeated 18 times , if ofr next record value if 5, entry record should dispalyed in report 5 times.
a cleaner implement without repeating details section of report make use of subreport.
the flow of implementation following :
- add subreport in detail section of report1 (main report)
- set it's datasource , add fields wish display
- you may remove reportheader/reportfooter of subreport , set height of pageheader/footer zero
- in format event of detail section fetch , save value of 'shipped quanity' in variable (say count).
- on basis of value, a. either repeat detail section (number of times=value of count) of subreport b. or render subreport multiple times (number equivalent value of count)
