     Posted: 04 Jun 2009 at 3:07am
Hi all, hope someone can help.
 
I have a document designed that is in the format of a quotation, header - detail lines and Footer.
 
For certain types of Quote I need to show 2 more pages - basically terms and conditions, BUT the detail lines need to be shown again.
 
SO - 1st page fine - created a sub report for pages 2 & 3 including details - all works fine.
 
BUT - the section holding the subreport, which is ReportFooterB, and has been made as small as possible - always prints with a large space at bottom of page IF the subreport prints following!!
 
If the type of quote suppresses the subreport then this space is not there.
 
Any ideas as its driving me mad.
 
ps I have suppressed if blank - which works when the subreport isn't shown.
 
Thanks
 
Phil

Is the space before or after the footer?  Where do you want the space? Is the subreport set as keep together or new page before?

Just somethings that come to mind.  I don't really use subreports so I might be completely off the mark.

Hi
 
What I think is you also need to suppress if blank in the sections of the subreport which displays the data.
 
cheers

I have got Suppress if blank on all of the Sub Report sections - and in fact when the sub doesnt print then the blank space on the main report doesnt show. Its when the sub report DOES print - on pages 2 & 3 - that I get the larger space at the bottom of page 1.
 
In response to lockwelle - the space is after the Report Footer, and I DONT want it at all. The Sub report is in Report Footerg - the last section.

Hmmm...
How can there be a space after the section, that is printed before the subreport....
 
I am still suspecting that 'Keep Together' is checked somewhere.  The subreport or the main report is trying to keep the subreport together and so is forcing a new page. 
 
If not that, then perhaps Rahul has some ideas.
