Blank pages in Master-Detail with Grouping

rbuser

I have created a master-detail report with some subreports. The
subreports are in the Detail band and have their PrintBehavior set to
Section so each starts with a new page. I have not included anything
(other that the subreports) in the Master. If I do not have a group for
the Master, the report is correct. The pages are as follows

Subreport1 ? first Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3
Subreport1 ? second Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3
Subreport1 ? third Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3

If I add a group to the Master, blank pages are inserted at the
beginning and end of the report, and every time the Master record
changes. The pages are as follows.

Blank page
Subreport1 ? first Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3
Blank page
Subreport1 ? second Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3
Blank page
Subreport1 ? third Master record
Subreport2
Subreport3
Blank page

Since I would like to use the outline to show the Group value for each
master record in Preview, how can I eliminate the blank pages?

Hello,

For future reference, please use your real name when posting to these
newsgroups.

Section subreports are generally intended to be used to combine multiple
reports into a single report. Once you add bands other than the detail band
to the main report, blank pages are a result because the engine assumes that
this information needs to be on a separate page than the subreport(s).

To work around this issue, try using Child style subreports instead but to
keep each subreport on a separate page, place a TppPageBreak in between each
subreport. Note that each component will need to ShiftRelativeTo the
preceding component...

Subreport1
PageBreak1
Subreport2
PageBreak2
Subreport3
PageBreak3
