>I'm chaining reports with the VFP9 reportlistener and XFRX into a PDF, trying to produce a particular effect and failing.

>The reports I'm making consist of common blocks or bands that have to be mixed and matched to create the PDF in the way I need. There are about 7 sections to be done this way. I have defined the sections as separate FRX reports, thinking I could use chaining to create the desired effect. Each FRX has the detail band defined with page header or footer and no data groups

Whats happening that I don't want is that each detail band takes up a whole page, leaving a lot of white space to the bottom of that page, so that the next part does not come right after it and only starts at the top of the next page in the file.

Hi Jim

Have look at

www.report-sculptor.com

You can do what you want in more then one way, and it is directly portable to xfrx.
