Hello All,

I'm having a lot of trouble getting rid of some white-space in a report layout that I've made. I can't for the life of me figure out why this space shows up... the objects/fields above and below this space have been given the ability to "slide" up using the FORMAT-SLIDING/PRINTING options. Is there something I'm missing?

The white space occurs at the beginning of my BODY... before the body, in the layout, I have stuff in a TITLE HEADER AND HEADER. Since the white space occurs only on the first page of info (and not on page2), I can conclude that there's no problem with the HEADER and that this white space is somehow created in the TITLE HEADER section of my layout. However, I don't see any physical space in this layout-part.

Thanks,

Ah.

It's the Header and TitleHeader part that is the problem. You can slide the objects in these parts, but you can't reduce the part size. My bet is that you're sliding objects in the TitleHeader, thus creating the "white space" at the bottom of this part.

True... I AM sliding objects in the TitleHeader... but the problem is that I HAVE to do this because some of the information in the TitleHeader is variable in size (depending on the particular record... i.e. in this case, Company A has a lot of info in a certain text-field contained in the header).

Is there no way to make the part slide up or something? There has GOT to be some way to get rid of this white space because I'm sure people have report-layouts where fields in the headers can vary in size.

Any more insight, folks?

You could do a workaround by displaying the relevant information in a calc field that only shows up on the first record, and then setting that field to slide.
