Hi Forum.
I have a Layout like this:
<Header>
<<singletextfield1>>
<<singletextfield2>>
SOME FIXED TEXT
</Header>
<Body>
[a single field] [another single field]
</Body>
<Footer>
some footer text
</Footer>
singletextfield2 is a sizeable box 500 height x 150 width and it can contain one single or multiple lines of text.
Thats why i make <<singletextfield2>> and SOME FIXED TEXT "Sliding up based on, all objects above as well as, Also resize enclosing part".
However when the field only contains one line, the space left between SOME FIXED TEXT and the first line of the Body is still about 450 px high.
Am I doing something wrong? I want he header to contract with the field and its not doing that, essentially the header is staying exactly the same height, all the time.

Thanks for any tipps

Make sure the fields have NO borders and that it is formatted to be TOP aligned any field that is MIDDLE or BOTTOM aligned will not properly slide or reduce.

Yes, the header part doesn't resize.
From Help On Line:
You can set layout parts to shrink when the fields in them slide up. Headers, footers, title headers, and title footers never shrink or slide up.

Leading Grand Summary prints at the top of the found set of records, and only once. Not quite the same thing: if you want to print a found set of records, the LGS will only appear on the first record's print out.
This can be solved by printing each record separately but it's a PITA.
A sub-summary field might be better choice. The found set will need to be sorted on the break field though.
