Hello,

I am using advanced layout to produce a summary report. All items in the detail band are suppressed via "Print only when expression is TRUE". Only the Group footer (where my summed fields are) prints. All of the fields are in one row, marked as "fix relative to top of band" and to NOT stretch with overflow. All data is visible in the report preview, none appears to be getting trimmed.

Then I run the report the rows of data are not evenly spaced.

I have searched for hidden elements in the group footer band to no avail.

I turned on "constant band height" but that did not do the trick.

Any tips on other things to check?

Hi Bob,

If you are hiding all of the fields in the detail band with the "printwhen" condition, then I suggest removing them all completely and giving the detail band a height of 0.

Also, I have noticed that sometimes the report engine will do funny things with row spacing if a field isn't big enough to accomodate the data (even though you turned off the stretch with overflow). Most of the time, problems like this can be resolved by turning on the "use old report engine" checkbox in step 5 of the wizard.

If neither of these things are helpful, please send in an exported copy of the report, and some example output (perhaps to pdf) to support@stonefieldquery.com. If that isn't sufficient to determine what is going on, we may need to get your project and some sample data to test with here.
