    Posted: 08 Jun 2011 at 11:26pm
I'm creating a report which will print to a pre printed form and as such I need to fix the detail section's height.

The pre printed forma allow 10 rows to be printed per page. I have put some forumula in "New Page After" to print only 10 rows. However when the detail section is less than 10 rows the detail section will shrink and takes along my page footer along withit thus messing up the layour of the report.

Can someone please let me know how to solve this problem as I am surely gettiing to the end of trying out things to get this to work.

Have you tried pulling down the details section to the size you need the area to be?Sometimes that's all you need to do.

you could also set the 'print at bottom of page' value for the page footer, so that it is fixed in relation to the page, then the detail section can float to whatever size is needed.
 
while page footer actually doesn't allow this in cr2008, other sections do, so perhaps it will help.
