>>>The line is a "trick" that can be used to ensure that whitespace is used up. Because the line is marked to never print and to remove when blank, VFP looks at the line and then keeps moving upwards to see what the previous object is that printed. It removes all the whitespace between those. I have used this trick often when you have a picture on the report and sometimes it is blank. If you don't use this trick, you can end up wasting a lot of white space in report.

>>My fault for not making myself clear - each detail band could contain upto 10 lines - in cases where all the lines fail to print because of the conditions I set then I get a blank page

>>It seems from your answer that I need to put one of your trick lines at the bottom of the detail band irrespective of how many lines there are in the deau=il band band - am I correct?

I've done that set print when .f. told it not to print when blank - I still get a blank page
