Adjusting nested report width and height
When you preview a report with nested reports, the width of
the nested report may be unacceptable. This can happen, for example,
if you change the design of the nested report or if you use newspaper
columns in a nested report. The width of the nested
report is not adjusted to fit its contents at runtime; if the report
is too narrow, some columns may be truncated. For example, if the
size of the nested report is set to 6 inches wide in the parent
report, columns in the nested report that exceed that width are
not displayed in the parent report.
To adjust report width:
-
In the Design view, position the pointer
near a vertical edge of the nested report and press the left mouse
button. -
Drag the edge to widen the nested report.
-
Check the new width in the Preview view.
When you Print preview a DataWindow that contains a nested
N-Up report with newspaper columns across the page, you might find
that blank pages display (and print) when the nested report in the
detail band fills the page. This is because any white space at the
bottom of the band is printed to a second page. You can usually
solve this problem by dragging up the detail band to eliminate the
white space between the nested report and the band, or even to overlap
the bottom of the representation of the nested report.
