Error in Footerband : print position exceeds available page space

rbuser

I want to print a pre-printed invoice format. That is, a master-detail
printing.

Header : 3 inches
Detail : 5 inches
Footer : 3 inches

Placing all the master fields to header band and a sub-report (detail
records) in detail band. It works fine if it is no footerband. But I don't
want to print it exceed 3 inches from the bottom, then I add a footer band
to it. However, the error "print position exceeds available page space"
always occurs. How to solve the problem ?

The footer band is always a static height band. There is an unprintable
area on printers, which reduces the actual area in which you can print on.
If you are using the footer as a buffer to keep from printing the detail
into, you will want to use the BottomOffset property of the detail band
instead, as this will force the detail band to stop printing on the current
page when it reaches 3 inches from the bottom of the page.
