This is an issue I have been having with SSRS for years. There is no way I can find to properly 'batch' reports, and this is essential in a business environment (which is why I'm puzzled there seem to be absolutely no provisions for this). For
instance, I have a detailed purchase order report, with company logo, repeated header per page, page m of n, etc. It works nicely as a single report. Compromising on the format is NOT an option.
What if I want to print 5 reports, purchase orders #1000-1004. I can make another report which calls this as a subreport, and that works, but I lose the page header / footer and pagination.
I can do it all within a single report, and use groups to provide headers and footers and page breaks, but the formatting is much less flexible and I still lose pagination.
Right now my "compromise" is to use groups for headers and footers, I would like to add custom code to paginate (set to 1 when group header starts, increment when page ends, this way I can implement page numbering for multiple reports). So I put some
code in 'the' code window under report properties, a variable called "GroupPage" and public subroutines to increment and reset it. Now I can't find any place I can INVOKE this code.
At this point, I'm stuck. (And biting my tongue.)
