>I am printing a document with two child tables (let's call it ChildA and ChildB) in two detail bands. The 2nd detail band always prints at a distance dictated by the height of the 2nd detail band header height and the last line of the 1st detail band footer. So, supposing there are five ChildA records, it will print these records out, then leave a space equivalent to the header height of the 2nd detail band, then go on to print the ChildB records.

This can be done by using a ReportListener and special tricks with a shape object at the top of the 2nd detail header band. By using the AdjustObjectSize method of the report listener, you can change the size of the shape to whatever is necessary so that the bottom of the shape is exactly where you want the next set of information to start printing. It's not simple .. but it is possible.
