Hi Deb,

Unfortunatelly, I have no idea how to help you. It's also possible that you encountered one of the numerous VFP Report Writer bugs/features and should start looking for some workaround.

It almost looks like vfp is checking to see if it can fit another record on the page and using the whole height of the detail band to check how much space it needs (even if the next record is only two rows when printed). What can I do to get rid of this space? Do I need to float all the fields in the detail band?
