No sure what is the best way to describe the title.

Thing is, my report is working fine (except for that index issue I have a.t.m)

 

Now this is my issue.  I've added a Sub-report onto my main report.  Works great and it's linked.  But the layout doesn't work when there's a lot of records in my sub-report.

 

If there's a lot of records in my sub-report then it grows.  But as it grows the main report information gets this information all over it so you can't make out what is going on.

 

How can I let my sub-report grow but also as it grows it should push down the information on my main report so that nothing overlap.

 

Hope that is clear enough.

 

Thanks,

So I was right... Is that the only way then?
 
I am working in 1 huge group so I just added more sections but had an idea that there might be a better way :)
 
But thanks :)

to mkae sure it does not grow over anything below it the best way is to have it on a unique section. That way the section will move independently of the other items on the canvas. YOU do not have to add in extra groups, just a new section

yea I got the part to add sections (not groups :D)

But was hoping there was a faster way like just dragging a box around it or something :) 
 
So this is best practice then?

IMO yes it is best a best practice. There are of course always exceptions based on specific report requirements.
