Report Format

[peezonn]

My report has a subreport in the report header. Sometimes that report can become very large. Not really often. When it does, I get this error: The page size was not large enough to format the contents of an object in the report.
My Question is: Is there anyway to tell the information to roll over to another page and continue, Rather than changing the size of the page to legal, when I prefer letter size?

I checked and that section does not have the option to choose can grow. I am using crystal 8.5

Are you sure that it's in the report header, and not the page header?

A page header cannot expand beyond the height of a page, hence this sort of error.

Try moving it to the report header or footer and check the results.

I also assume that the orientation and placement of the subreport matches the main report.

Actually it is a group header. I am not sure if that makes a differance. My report has 3 groups inserted in the main report. The subreport is in the second group header. It really needs to be in a that particular group because it gives some details about each item in that particular group.

I have numerous subreports which exceed a page within a group, so I'd guess that the culprit of the error is the subreport, not the main report.

Are you placing too much data within the page header/footer of the subreport?

Try Suppressing different things within the subreport and see if that changes things.

I know this post is old - but just in case someone else comes here with the same problem, I recently ran across it and found a knowledge base article that says it's a known bug with subreports. A hot fix was published that corrected the problem. It only occurs when a subreport has "suppress blank sections" marked. Conditionally formatting the sections rather than using the checkbox is a workaround.
