blank page at report end

rbuser

I have a report design which produces a blank page at the end of the
report, if I apply no selection criteria. If I select criteria which
report out on less than all the records, then the blank page is not
generated.

The only thing I have found in report code that seems related is this:

procedure GroupFooterBand1BeforePrint;
begin
if Current_Balance['Remainder'] > 0 then
begin
GroupFooterBand1.Visible := True;
Group1.NewPage := True;
end
else
begin
GroupFooterBand1.Visible := False;
Group1.NewPage := False;
end;
end;

The top level of the report is the group. There is nothing in the
design which is in the report header or footer.

Is there, for the report itself, a counterpart to
Group1.NewPage := False?

Hi Bill,

Typically when a blank page is displayed at the end of a report, the report
engine thinks the report is out of space on the last page and breaks to a
new one before ending. Try tracing through the event code you have below
and see if this may be occurring. My initial guess would be that the event
you are using to hide the group footer and toggle the NewPage property is
firing too late to have the desired effect.


I'm a bit unclear about this question. Setting the Group.NewPage property
simply toggles whether the group will break to a new page after it has
finished.

OK, I have more on this. It turns out that the last page is not blank,
but is displaying a footer, but no detail section, because the code
apparently suppresses that detail. What I do not understand is why the
code can suppress the detail, but not the footer, and the page. I tried
relocating the code to suppress the footer to the same event which is
clearly suppressing the detail section, but still get the footer....

Hi Bill,

How are you suppressing the detail band? The event code you posted earlier
will not do that. Is there another event that is hiding the detail
information based on some condition? If so, try tracing into this code and
see if the footer band is actually being hidden for the last page.

If this always occurs, you might try setting the FooterBand.PrintOnLastPage
property to False and see if that helps.
