This is a very simple report.

Sub-summary 1

Sub-summary 2

Body (1 to several lines)

The sub-summary part that I want to slide into (Sub-summary2) has only 1 line (text data field) and nothing else. The body part below the sub-summary has only two data fields and no text or graphics.

I have set the fields to slide but not the parts. How do set parts to slide?

I use Preview mode to see how things look.

When you are setting the fields to slide up there is a check box with the text "Also reduce the size of the enclosing part." This should be ticked for the field in the sub summary part 2. See if this helps.

I've had the same problem, many times. Once in a while I find it's caused by some invisible characters in the offending field, but usually it just seems like a bug in FM??? Did you ever figure it out?

Also: does anyone know whether FM is supposed allow the reduction in the size of a title header (via the Sliding function)? I have a report that just won't do it.

Thx.

I have gone in and cleaned out the empty fields in some records in case there was invisible characters, but it still didn't slide. Still haven't found a solution and am running out of ideas. Hope someone else in the FM-Pro world has something new to try.
