Hi everybody,

looks like I do have a sort of rookie problem here. 

I created a subsummary report which is sorted by a break field and all works fine. All is fine in layout and preview mode. Just in browse mode I seem to have a problem.  There is a large grey empty area just underneath of the subsummary part showing.  Anyone with an idea what it is I messed up here? I already googled but just found 1 similar report from 2010. Sort of optically annoying.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Could be the same issue as here:

 

Tnx for your reply. Just checked and tried various themes. The blank area stays. It's just changing color depending on the theme. Looks like, this solution is not working for me.

I am not sure I understand the problem, then. You have a sub-summary part and a footer. The footer will always be anchored to the bottom of the page. If there are only few groups, as shown in your example, then there will be blank space between the last sub-summary and the footer. If you want the grand totals to be shown immediately below the last sub-summary, place them in a trailing grand summary part. 

But you say it displays fine in Preview mode, which puzzles me. Perhaps you are using a short page?

Tnx for your input. All true what you are saying. That is why I don't understand, what happened here. However, I  just tried to add another trailing grand summary part and really nothing has changed. Still have the blank space inbetween the footer and the now trailing grand summary part. Only difference is, that the space is white instead of grey because I change the theme.

No idea, whats going on. I have some 4 more subsummary reports in the db and compared. No r difference in the setup really (exept for the different table and occurances used for the fields) .

I noticed something else weird here on the right edge of the layout in browse mode. A small part of the blank area goes up into the subsummary part at the right edge. Getting really confused here.

Seems like the fields aren’t big (tall) enough as the data looks clipped. Are you sure all fields are within the sub summary part?  It seems like all the fields aren’t the same height or share the same top location.

in other words, if the sub summary part top is 400 pts, and the bottom is 420 points, I’d make sure every field, line would start at least at 401, and end no further than 419. 

Maybe you could post a file and let others see if they can replicate.

Hi Steve. Tnx for your reply. The fields look only clipped on the last screen shot. Happend because I tried to use a different theme. All fields are placed right into the center of the parts and are not overlapping. I have already tried to re-size the parts. But no success.
