Blank Second Page

[kevybaby]

This has probably already been answered, so I apologize, but I could not find it. I am trying to improve an inherited database.

 

We have a layout that, with all elements that MAY need to be included on the printout extends to more than one page. However, 99% of the time, the entire printout easily fits on a single page (with sliding/reducing size of part). However, I continue to get the second page, including Header and Footer (although for testing purposes, I tried deleting those and it didn't make a difference - still got the second page.

 

I may be SOL (short of developing a sophisticated data evaluation script and a secondary layout), but I thought I would check here before throwing in the towel.

Setting up layouts with sliding elements can be difficult due to the number of factors that control the result.

 

1. Gaps between fields DO NOT condense, it is only the field content that can slide/condense.

2. If you have images they may need to be set for top/left justification.

3. Watch out for fields that are are not aligned horizontally correctly as this will affect the 'slide up to next field' option

4. Watch out for the width of fields if you expect them to 'slide up to field directly above' as they can 'hit' a field that is, say, set off to the right.

5. The page setup can also influence the resulting page(s).

Thanks for the feedback IdealData!

 

Well, I fixed the problem, and it was kind of silly. Before writing my OP, one of the things I did was select all of the elements to make sure that they had the proper settings (sliding up, reduce size of part, etc.). Yet somehow, not all elements "took." I went back and checked/corrected each of the elements one-by-one and that eventually corrected the problem.

 

Only noting it in case someone else is hunting in the future for the same problem.
