Hi Peter

You can probably do some of usual trickery to get around this FRX limitation, however if you need more of dynamic features you
might wanna take a look at www.report-sculptor.com

Once you implement RS within your environment, you can use form/form objects to create truly OOP dynamic reports. Within this paradigm, you directly control firing of report bands (form containers in this case) where you can use standard OOP approach to manipulate objects at run time.
So moving that shape of yours would look something like ;

.
oRS.FlashContainer(thisform.myGroupHeaderBand)
.
&&on the fly manipulation of report content 
thisform.myDetailBand.MyShape.left = thisform.myDetailBand.MyShape.left - 50   &&move to the left
thisform.myDetailBand.MyShape.left = thisform.myDetailBand.MyShape.left + 50   &&move to the right 
.
.
oRS.FlashContainer(thisform.myDetailBand)
.
.

See attached picture to get better idea how does work reality. It is demo sample modeled after real life report which has completely non standard flow/grouping.
Hence free report design / flow being one of the main ideas of RS.
