I'm not sure what else to tell you. Are you using "inches" as the measurement? Are you sure you are looking at the record that is for the first object in the band? They are not necessarily in the same order as the appear on the designer.

>=11615.333

>the 1st object after the band seperator is a label (showing in the report writer at position 0,0 in the group header). in the table this is specified with a vpos of 11562.500. as you can see this does not match taking a 'band-height' of 2083.333.
