I have created a report that has several text objects stacked vertically in the detail band.

detail band
item1 - always print
item1a - print sometimes
item1b - print sometimes
end of detail band

All of these objects, except for the the top one, are marked to print only if a certain condition is true and to remove line if blank in their properties.

When the report prints the extra text objects are removed when they should be and the blank spaces do not show, but there is a large blank space after the detail lines limiting the number of detail items on each page much more that it should. Instead of getting say 12 detail lines on a page, I get 6 with a large blank area before the page footer starts.

detail band
item1
item2
item3




page footer

Is there any property I can set to get rid of this space?

Thanks
