Fill in data in fixed grid
I am currently trying to convert a report, that original has been
designed in Crystal Reports, to ReportBuilder.
The old report displayed a tablegrid with a fixed size that was
dynamically filled with data. After the loop through one or more blank
rows would remain at the bottom of the table.
The idea was that the remaining rows, in the printed version, left the
end user the option to fill in those holes manually.
When I try to replicate this behavior within ReportBuilder I would only
get as many rows as there are data, and this is not what want to acomplish.
In the old Crystal report the grid where placed with in the Page Header.
The data itself where placed within a grouped section, within its footer.
At the moment I can not see how to do this within ReportBuilder and
hoping that someone of you might have an answer to this problem.
I welcome any help that can help me solve this issue

Take a look at the following article on how to fill the empty space of a
page with lines. You could possibly do something similar with your grid.

The article describes a programmatically approach to solve this issue -
I assume that there is no way to do this through the ReportBuilder
designer is that right?
I will certainly try the example and hope it will solve this issue -
thanks for the suggestion

Correct, the only way to create empty grid lines below the generated
report is in code.

We actually solved this using a background image containing the grid,
instead !
