The Tricky One - How to place Crew schedule in Detail Section formatted with multiple Columns – Twice!

I am Developing a report where a Crew Schedule shall be shown in Detail Section at page one
Formated with Multiple Columns ( 2 Columns).

Then again the same Schedule but less fields for the same Crew has to be repeated at page 2 at the bottom Formated with Multiple Columns (4 Columns) .

The hight is 11 cm from bottom of the page and it has to stay this hight whether the Schedule contain a lot of days or not.

Thks in advance

Use subreports inserted in a main report that has multiple
detail (or group footer) sections per each crew.

The page location issue can be resolved using a blank
detail (or grooop footer) section.

Hi Ido,
Many thks for quick response.
I am using a subreport for page 2 - the challenge is to
control the size of the subreport detail section to only
stay 11 cm in hight from the bottom of page two.
How do I control this??
What do you mean when you are writing:
"The page location issue can be resolved using a blank detail (or group footer) section".

rgds,

Controlling the heght of a subreport detail section can get tricky.

But you can turn the can grow option off for it and size it to whatever size you need, which will make the entire subreport a standard size. Now select print at bottom of page for that section.

Should work.

Try to use a group footer with a format option set to "Print at Bottom of Page" and set the page footer to 11 cm or add another blank group footer section with appropriate size below the "populated" group footer.

I never tried the last approach, it would require that both group footer sections use the "Print at Bottom of Page" section format attribute.
