thanks for the reply,
the thing is i haven't taken such a hands-on approach to generating
my report, i have assigned frdsdataset's to the bands in the report
and do not loop through the datasets myself programmatically, the
report generation loops through the datasets, other wise i could
check the position with my own code.
even more curious is the fact that the report is then presented
just fine, with all of the necessary data populating the report (with
a single record master and multiple records in the subreports).
could be a fastreport bug.
