Thanks Lisa
Your workaround suggestion does work for me. This is what I did step by step:
Double click on Detail Band 2 (Or right click and select properties) to bring up the Detail Band Properties dialog.
In the text box marked 'Target alias expression:' place the following expression:
alias()
This solves the problem. Any field overflow then correctly overflows to the next page.
The same can be done for Detail Band 3 and any additional detail bands.
Thanks again Lisa. You seem to be an expert with regards to reports.
