Hello,
I'm fairly new to Telerik Reporting; I just started seriously working with it yesterday at my new job.
I need to copy a table onto a report from another report, and put it on top of another table. A report parameter will determine which one of the tables is visible. I know how to integrate it into the report except for one problem: every other page on the report that I see in the preview is blank.
I looked at this link already:
http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/reporting/general/problem-telerik-reporting-renders-blank-pages.aspx
and I colored the background of the new table and all surrounding elements, but unless I'm looking at them wrong, none of them seem to be running off the right side of the page.
That's what this link says:
http://www.telerik.com/help/reporting/designing-reports-considerations-image.html
It says that if every other page is blank, then it's probably because something is stretching over the right page margin. But I just can't see what it might be. The new table that i'm putting in the report doesn't stretch any further to the left or right than the table that I'm putting it on top of. It does have an extra couple of cells on the bottom, so it stretches further downward, but those cells don't seem to be intersecting with anything else.
Could it be something else that I haven't thought about, or am I just not looking at the page margins properly? The second link mentions that the margins should be indicated as dotted lines in the design view, and I don't see any dotted lines, but like I said, the new table that I'm trying to insert doesn't stretch any further to the left or right than other elements that are on the report already.

Hello Nick,
The old version of the Report Designer used a "dotted line" and this text has not been updated - just fixed that and it would be updated with the next site upload.
Currently (in the new designer), the margins are indicated by vertical red line.
We appreciate the thorough description of the problem, but without a runnable report on our end, we can only make guesses what the problem is.
Our suspicion is that some of the Table items you have grows horizontally at runtime and becomes bigger than the report width i.e. it can no longer fit in the designated page width and horizontal carry over occurs that creates the second page. This is trickier to pinpoint as when you look at the report in the designer, nothing goes pass the red line, but the problem does occur at runtime.
If this is not the case, please open a support ticket and send us a runnable sample that exhibits the problem.
All the best,
Steve

Thanks for your response.
Yes, that was the problem. I looked at the first link that I provided, but I didn't heed enough attention to the first possibility - that the report was too wide. I didn't realize that I was moving the right margin around by moving the tables around. That's my fault.
