Page Header b

Page Header c - contais a subreport

Details (supressed and hided)

Report Footer (supressed and hided)

Page Footer a

Page Footer b

Basically, I want that the printing sows results form Page Header c, imediatelly followed by Page Footer a results.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Manuel,

Go into the Subreport and suppress all unwanted sections. It could be these sections that might be causing the extra space.

If that doesn't help, please attach a copy of the report with saved data.

Hi Manuel,

This screenshot is of the Main Report. I wanted you to suppress unwanted sections inside the Subreport.

Try this:

- Right-click the Subreport on the Page Header c and select 'Edit Subreport'

- You should now be inside the Design pane of the Subreport

- Suppress all unwanted Headers and Footers in the Subreport

Another piece of advice, Never place the Subreport on the Page Headers. If the Subreport is large and grows over a page, the report will throw an error.

Move all the objects from the Page Header to the Report Header.

Also, I didn't get the report. To attach the report, first save the report with 'Saved Data' and then change its extension from .rpt to .txt. Click on the Use advanced editor link in the reply window here to attach the .txt file.

Also, page footers appear at the bottom of the page. If your subreport doesn't take up all of the space that's left before the page footer, you will have a blank space between the end of the subreport and the beginning of the page footer.
