Space between detail and summary

rbuser

I'm having a problem with the last record of a group of records having alot
of trailing space. There are alot of fields that are blank and the first
n-1 records compress up together nicely but on the last record there is alot
of space present that I can't seem to get rid of. The group footer has no
space defined before the summary information prints so I don't think it's
coming from there. RB 7.04b and DBISAM 4.08. Thanks.

Hi George,

As a test, try placing TppShapes with their ParentHeight set to true with
different colors to find out which band the extra space is comming from. Be
sure you have your detail band set to phDynamic PrintHeight.

I tried this and there is a large uncolored section that the summary line
prints on (the first part being blank) followed by a large shaded area with
the correct color for the summary section. All sections are transparent so
I would have thought that the color would show through. This is a landscape
report that was initially printing the heading off the page (margins were
adequate). I made sure and shaded ALL bands.

Hi George,

Are you using a TppFooterBand in your report? If not, ReportBuilder will
still allocate space at the bottom of each page for this band regardless.
If your summary is alligned to the bottom margin, this could be what is
causing the space to show up. You may need to either increase the size of
your summary band or move it up to fill the space.

OK, here is the printout with all of the bands shaded. I even shaded the
page footer. I can't explain the fields printing outside of the band.

pic 2 is the design window, pic 3 is the preview window, and pic 4 is the
runtime window. What could possibly cause this? Thanks. (Sorry for the
sizes)

Hi George,

In the future if you would like to give us images or files, please send them
to support@digital-metaphors.com. If possible please send the rtm of the
report you showed in the images in .zip format to support.

OK, the RTM is sent. Let me know if you don't get it. Eagerly looking
forward to an answer on this. Didn't zip it. It's pretty small. Thanks.
