>Not directly nor specifically but from similar experience the thought occurs to check the printer driver setup for the report since this was a problem we experienced and thereby resolved - turns out the system printer was different between the old 2.x report setup and the new system setup. We have also noticed that reports that work well when sent to the system printer will format differently when sent to fax as the "windows" printer drivers also cause on-the-fly-reformating too suite the printer - at least that's what happens with our WinFax Pro output versus either our HP LaserJet or HP ColorJet outputs.

>The other possible factor may simply be the amount of "margin" included in the summary/footer section of the report and have you also checked settings in the "Report" menu "Group By" section under the "don't print new Group.. section unless certain page length page length remaining" etc.. Finally, if you have a blank record at the end of the file, that may "invisibly" be forcing the report to seem to be longer than the page length when in fact if there was data there it would show and reveal itself. HTH. /psb.

Thanks for ideas -- I've diagnosed the problem, and it's 'start new column at' grouping variable. It will print the 2 columns of data fine on page 1 with lots of room to spare but always adds a blank page 2, because the report thinks there's more data (my guess, anyway). I'll have to fiddle with it to get the 'when group changes' defined more clearly so that the report won't think there's another column coming when there really isn't...
