[FIRST: this question has absolutely *nothing* to do with the picture template thing I posted about earlier -- just in case anybody else is confused by your terminology (because I was <g>).]

David, before I waste any time trying to repro this...

... have you already tried your instructions with 9?

There was a definite bug related to what you are talking about -- which I think we fixed. And as far as I know the fix would be good whether you were running old-style or new-style output. Nothing to do with the new rendering mechanism, IOW, a fix to the Engine used for both mechanisms.

Some additional questions for you, which would be required for a repro:

1) Why two detail bands in this case? Where are the pictures coming from, IOW (I can't see what you would accomplish by doing this if you're not using multiple related tables -- so I want to remove multi-details from the equation when trying to figure out what's going on).

2) Is the varying picture coming from a General field or an indirect reference to a file on disk (text field with filename, variable, or whatever). It matters <s>.

3) Please do indicate all the settings for Print When, even if you think they are not involved.
