VFP 8 Report Problem

[gsrajput]

I 'm having some problem in Foxpro 8 report which seems to be working fine in Foxpro 7. It is throwing an extra page in Version 8 and if you use same report in Foxpro 7 it prints fine.

You might consider sending this to Cathy Poutney who is a real expert on reports. Maybe something changed between Version 7 and 8?

Is this on the same system or on different machines? (If different, are they running the same OS and using the same printer driver?) Is the extra page blank? Is this the difference between one and two pages, or 9,999 and 10,000? Do you know the data is exactly the same in both case? Are you using UDF's or any data manipulation in the report itself?

Note: It's Cathy Pountney, and unless it's due to a very strange setup, I doubt she'll be able to offer more than a number of people already here!

G.,
Additionally you shouldn't ask to send your "problem" - if you can't simplify the questions enough for a quick answer, then maybe some one will ask you to send it.

First, please answer the rest of the questions and provide as much more relavant information as you can - often in explaining a problem, you'll discover the real cause of your trouble. ( Is the extra page blank? Is this the difference between one and two pages, or 9,999 and 10,000? Do you know the data is exactly the same in both case? Are you using UDF's or any data manipulation in the report itself?)

Rick,
Sorry, I did n't know the policy here but I thought sending report would help identify problem easily.
Extra page it prints is blank and it is happening when report has only one page and there are no UDF's used in this report but most of the report is based on the memo fields, I 've used float in the report expression.The only problem I 'm seeing is I 've made group footer band little bit large because I want that block to print complete either on 1st page or 2nd page. I tried to make that block smaller but the it prints partial information on 1st page and remaining on the 2nd.

Thanks.

Dear GSRAJPUT,

I 'm having same problem in Foxpro 8 report. It is throwing an extra page in Version 8. Did you found any solution?

Thanks

Hi Atul,
I just did a work around it and that got fixed the report but my problem was that I had something in group footer and that was causing that problem to resolve that I created another group band by giving recno() as Group and move everything from group footer to the group header and that fixed my problem but if you give more specification about your report layout then I think I could help you.

Dear Gurvinder,

Thanks for reply. I did just created same report again in VFP 8.0 and it works fine with both versions (6&8). But, still I am not happy with solution. We need to find out exactly what it causes the problem.
