I have a report that is a combination of data rows and blank spaces the people who print the report will use to fill in new data.  e.g.
data row 1    abcd   14 Maple Ave Mytown, USA   xxx       yy
data row 2    efgh    23 Long Street Name           xxx       yy
                              Anothertown, USA
_________   _____ _____________________    _____   __
data row 3    ijkl      711 Elm St, City, USA          xxx       zz 
_________   _____ _____________________    _____    __
_________   _____ _____________________    _____    __
_________   _____ _____________________    _____    __
 
At the end of the report (actually at the end of one of the groups) I want to fill up the rest of the page with rows of blanks.  The problem is that due to the fact that a number of fields have Can Grow checked, each data row can take up a different amount of vertical space on the page and I don't know in advance how much that will be.  Currently I am adding 10 blanks in the group footer but sometimes that results in printing a page that has nothing but 1 row of blanks or 5 blanks and then white space for the rest of the page.
 
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
