Hello everyone.

I have a report that is really giving me some trouble. It consists of a main report and 4 subreports.

The layout that I want is:

Page 1: Main report information & information from
2 subreports (all small enough to fit on 1 page)
Page 2: Info from 3rd subreport at top of page.
Page 3: Info from 4th subreprot at top of page.

I have tried everything that I can think of and searched every post in this forum, and I am just having no luck. The closest results that I am getting is four pages, with 1,3,4 appearing as they should, with p2 being completly blank.

The nearest I can tell, the extra page is from a page break I have placed on the main report, located between the 2nd and 3rd subreports. The weird thing is that in the print preview, I get a total of 4 of 3 pages. But, if I go back and preview the report again, going immediately to the last page and then back to the first page, the report is fine - 3 of 3 pages, with no blank pages, and everything located where it should be.

Has anyone else ever had trouble with this? I've only found one other posting of this sort and there were no responses. Is it just some weird bug?

I have set all my page margins to .5" and nothing is past 6.25" on my layout screen. I just can't think of anything else.

If I take out the page break, then the report is 3pp, but the layout is all messed up and split between pages, and starting halfway down on the last page instead of being at the top. (And yes, I have tried Keep Together, Forcing New Pages, and setting the top properties.)

If anyone can give me some advice it would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Janel
