I have a report with all of the content in a  group header section, all of which fits nicely on one page with one problem. I have a subreport in the content shown here on the designer;

The Subreport is a simple name list with just a detail section (no headers - the waring is that it's not full page width and will be extended horizontally - not what I want, but OK...);

However, it renders like this;

I.e. With a page break before it, with the sub report object (Green) from the main report expanding to full page height, then another page break afterwards and then the rest of the content

I've checked all of the page break settings and they're all set to none - anyone seen anything similar?

OK - the issue is (I suspect) that it's a sub report in a "header" section, and hence giving me a "detail" section with just the sub report in it...

Hello, Richard,

I guess, you are nesting the subreport into a report header section. In that case the data will be printed on top of the page. However, there may be a few reasons to consider:

  • Check the keep together property for some of the items. It may case some elements to be glued together if they cannot be fit on the page
  • Check the width of the reports. If the subreport is wider that the main report, it may cause rendering the subreport on a separate page. I managed to reproduce your case exactly like this.

I've attach a sample report to look at. If you move the subreport element slightly to the right, the problem will be reproduced.

Regards,
