3 Columnar report question

Hello,

I have created a 3 columnar report set in Landscape mode.
The problem I am experiencing is that an extra page is being printed.

Example: the data fills all of the first column and part of the 2nd column.
A blank page prints after the first page.

Report Specifications:

8 x 11 paper
Orientation: Landscape
PassSetting: psOnePass
ColumnWidth: 3.375
MarginTop: 0.5
MarginLeft: 0
MarginRight: 0
MarginBottom: 0

The report is set up with a Column Header, Detail and Column Footer. In the
Column footer, I do have a subreport.

FYI: I did modify the report (a copy of the same report) and change it to
be a 1 column report. When I ran it using the same report criteria, a blank
page did NOT print after the data printed on page 1.

Software:
Delphi 6 (Build 6.240)
Report Builder Professional Edition 6.03
Windows 2000 (XP)

If desired, I can send a screen shot of the report. Please provide
assistance in what I can do to prevent the report from printing a blank
page.

Sincerely,

Karen

    Hi Karen,

    What type of subreport are you using? Are you able to recreate this
    behavior with a simple example? If so, please send the example in .zip
    format to support@digital-metaphors.com and I will test it with the latest
    version of ReportBuilder.

    Nico,

    Using my same report, I removed the subreport. The blank page still appears
    after the data has printed on column 1 and part of column 2 of the first
    page (and what should be the ONLY page) of the report.

    Conclusion: The existence or non existence of a subreport has no effect on
    the problem of the blank page appearing after what should be the last (or in
    this case, the ONLY) page of the report.

    As mentioned in my email posting the 3 columnar report question, I did
    modify the report to be a plain report (no columns) and the report printed
    fine (no BLANK page issue).

    Sincerely,

    Karen

    Hi Karen,

    I'm unable to recreate this issue on my machine.

    Please send a minimal example in .zip format to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and I will test it with the latest version of
    ReportBuilder.

    Nico,

    Thanks a bunch for solving the blank/extra page issue after the last page of
    the columnar report has printed. I never would have guessed that an empty
    Summary Band would have been the problem. As you suggested, I unchecked the
    Summary under Report menu. Saved the report and reran it successfully
    without an extra (or in my case a blank) page showing up!!

    THANKS,
    Karen

    Hi Karen,



    Thanks for the example. It looks like the Summary band is causing the extra
    page. Removing it from the report solves the problem. If you need to print
    information below the columns, you can use the page footer band.
