adding empty lines after last record if page is not full -- grouping records & inserting pag

rbuser

I am using ReportBuilder 10 in Delphi 2006 with an Access 2000 database. I
am trying to create a report using a filtered query.

1. I am trying to add empty rows (or records) in the ReportBuilder's
details band after the filtered query records. Until it fills the page. My
details band is like an excel table and it can take 25 rows per page. If I
have 30 records, the first page is good. But the second page will have 5
records. Then, a huge gap will appear between the details and footer
bands. That looks bad.

2. In my access database's one of the tables, i have a column named
"malztipi". I am trying to insert pagebreaks when the text inside of this
column changes. An example would be like this:

malztipi
---------
a
a
pagebreak
b
b
b
pagebreak
c
c

I tried to search for these, but nothing comes up. I am a newbie by the
way...

I hope I properly explained my problem to you. Any help would be
appreciated.

Edit: i have solved my second problem from groups property (checked start a
new page) but actually i want to add that property to my delphi code (i want
user to select if he wants a pagebreak or not if "malztipi" column changes).

Hi Emrey,

Take a look at the following article on how to add empty lines to the
bottom of a report.
