Another Endless Printing question

Using RB 7.01 on D5

I'm having a problem with endless printing when label printing only on
a dot matrix printer. I have looked at Tech Tips on this issue and
suspect the problem has to do with one stretching component, a DBMemo
on a DetailBand. The article suggested setting the PrintHeight to
Dynamic to test that, but RB will not let me do so - it keeps
reverting back to Static.

Also, I noticed that during runtime I cannot change the Height of the
DetailBand although I can change other properties, like BottomOffset.

Does either of those things give you enough of a clue as to what might
be happening??

thanks,

Hi Gene,

Are you perhaps loading this report from a template file? If so, you may be
loosing your prior settings after the template is loaded. If you have your
Detail band set to a dynamic height, the height of that band is determined
by the objects inside the band, not the height property.

Hi Gene,

If you set these properties without sending the report to the function you
created, will ReportBuilder still reset the print height property? Back to
the endless pages... if you have any subreports or crosstab components in
your report, be sure they are not connected to the same datasource as the
main report is. Also, the detail band cannot be larger than a page or
endless pages is the result. Check to be sure that the Report.AutoStop
property is set to True as well.
