>>I've been trying to modify a report. The way the report was originally built, fields were piled on top of each other and checked 'Remove line if blank' so that only the one field in each pile would print depending on the condition. This works, but there are areas in the report detail band that are simply black, and it makes it almost impossible to make changes to the report. Ok, it's not impossible, but it is depressing.

>>Anyway, I've been rebuilding the report also using 'Remove line if blank' for the fields, but laying them out in groups that will all print or not print depending on the condition. What this means is that the deail band is pretty long, but in fact, when it prints, it should only be about a half page, unless I'm completely misunderstanding the phrase 'Remove line if blank'.

Detail 1 band is too large to fit on page. I suppose this means that the VFP report engine is simply looking at the length of the detail band without worring about the actual length that will print for the record (which will easily fit on a page).
