I have a report I am developing that has six (and soon to be more) sub reports that are all in the details section of the main report. Each sub report is based on a different query.

 

I have expanded the details section of the main report to fit all of the sub reports in, and am finding that the sub reports are overlapping each other, especially when generating PDF output.

 

I suspect I need to alter some pagination settings to get the sub reports to follow each other properly and cross page boundaries as necessary.

 

I'm a bit lost as to where I should be looking for settings to control this. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

I worked it out. While each sub-report was given "block" layout style, I also had to make the Details section of the main report use block layout to ensure that each subsequent sub-report followed after the previous one and wasn't positioned according to its x and y coordinates.

 

I now have the report looking exactly as my users wanted it.

 

:)
