>I have this report (850x550) which can , supposedly, accomodate 8 lines of detail records. The problem is when it reaches a record of 8 or more, the summary band that follows prints on the next page without the header and the footer of the report. This report has no grouping whatsoever. There is no problem if i have 9 items or more in my detail band because if that's the case, the next page prints the header and footer along with summary. It's just that when the report has exactly 8 detail records, the summary band is left in the next page alone, with no header or footer printed. What do i do??


I've dealt with this issue before and it's a PITA. I think what I ended up doing was defining the summary band as Start on New Page and then included the header and footer information in the summary band. Of course, this meant that even if the summary would have fit on the bottom of the last page, I ended up with the summary on the next page.

Another idea you could try is to wrap your report in another group band that somehow triggers after the last record of the report. Then move your summary information to the group footer and eliminate the summary band.
