MS Access Forum / Reports / Printing / March 2008Problem with report design
I have the report done and laid out about as perfectly as I can ask for, but I have one small problem. When the report prints out, the layout looks like a Word table, with the bottom part of the table actually laid out in the page footer section, while the rest is in the detail section. All of the lines I've drawn to simulate a table gridlines line up beautifully from the page header to the detail section, but there is a small horizontal space between the detail section and the page footer. I've checked and double-checked all my measurements, and for legal reasons, this report MUST look the way I have it. Does anyone know how to eliminate this gap? Can it be as simple as shrinking the area in your page footer? Otherwise does this report run off a subreport? > I have the report done and laid out about as perfectly as I can ask for, but > I have one small problem.

Does anyone know how to eliminate this gap? I've tried that, and it only makes my footer section shorter. In the view and the print, that gap is still there. I've also tried inserting a group footer and adding very short vertical lines to try to bridge that gap, but they run off onto the next page. I hate it when my computer is smarter than me. =( > Can it be as simple as shrinking the area in your page footer? Otherwise > does this report run off a subreport?

Have you checked the details section All tab for Force new page or New Row or Col?? > I've tried that, and it only makes my footer section shorter.

Does anyone know how to eliminate this gap? My report has 4 sections in total: page header, group header, detail and page footer. Of those sections, only the group header has the "Force New Page" set to something besides None (actual setting is Before Section). The "New Row or Col" is set to None for both detail and group header. > Have you checked the details section All tab for Force new page or New Row or > Col??

You're right - it was the length of the footer. I went back and instead of adjusting it by dragging the edge of the field, I went into the Properties field and adjusted it 1/10,000 of an inch at a time. It took a while, but the gap is now gone. Thank you! > Have you checked the details section All tab for Force new page or New Row or > Col??
