Title:
Creeping (downward) 'Page header' band
My expertise with the Report Designer is limited at best.
I've encountered a problem when amending a report to accommodate addition "Address" lines AND at the same time "fixing" a separator line at the bottom of the "Title" area.
The "address" is printed in the "Title" area, with all four lines specified to "Float" and the second line also being "Stretch with overflow". Below the address are 3 lines that I attempted to keep in a FIXED position by specifying "Fix relative to top of band" for each of them.
All this seems to work exactly as I want.
BUT the "Page Header" area creeps downward as the address' second field - the "Stretch with overflow" field - has more and more lines in it. When the data has a single line the "Page header" are is lower than expected but in a tolerable position. However, if the field has 2 lines the "Page header" area creeps down an additional line, and yet another line if the address has 3 lines in it.
How do I stop this creeping?
I'd also like to have the "Page header" area always start printing at the place I appear to have placed it on the designer as opposed somewhere further down as it does now.
It may be relevant that there is also an image (company logo) in the "Title" area.
Any help greatly appreciated.
