>>Hi All!

>>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 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.

Hi Cathy,

Do you think, the solution I proposed, would not work? If there is no stretch with overflow fields and you know, that one page always have 8 detail records and there are no groups at all, you just have to place the exact record from detail to the summary (assuming, that this is just one detail line) and then use Print when condition.

BTW, I had the similar problem recently when my group footer appears without at least one detail line. I tried Start on the new page then less than option, but it didn't work. Finally I just put one field from group footer to detail band and put .f. in print when condition. This seems to do the trick.
