>Nadya, have you tried my suggestion of maing sure you have no extra space between the fields on your report and the bottom of the detail band? Also make sure you have all the fields in the band at the very top of the band or at least all on the same vertical coordinate.

Fred,

I didn't have extra spaces, then I intentionally inserted them - still no luck.
Another colleague just offered me help with this report. I think, may be it could not done at all :( This would be really a pity for me, because it was tough report to design...
