I have 4 reports that I've combined with the PDF layout painter into 2 pages. The second page has 3 reports of fixed size as shown in the code below.

When the report is run, it will occasionally throw the last report ("report4") on a third page, aligned vertically where it should be on the second page. The report shows a blank spot on the second page where "report4" should be.

Hi Jason,
Experienced a similar problem. Suggest to check and reduce the Footgap of the 3rd report.

Jason,

Check out the syntax for OVERFLOW-POSITION and OVERFLOW-DIMENSION to achieve what you need.

Thanks guys...it just started working the way it should after I played with the frame sizes a little.

Didn't know about the overflow stuff, tony. Thanks.
