Paul,

VFP uses a detail band design time height to determine if there's enough room on the page for it. What's the reason that your detail band height is so big?


>I was fulling around with the detail band while keeping the memofield a constant size. The memofield was "stretch with overflow" and wouldn't go longer than about 2-3 inches. The memofield is the only thing in the report.

>My report writing skills are not very good, but the only way I would think this should happen is if the paper setup is listed as 5"(length) x 8.5"(width). In that case, if I make the detailband greater than 5" length, it would go to the next page even if no field is printed on the 2nd page. However, I checked my page setup and it is listed as 8.5"(width) x 11"(length).
