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. |
