Hi all, I have a report that has a number of sections. I have put each
section into a list so that a section does not get cut in half between pages.
All is fine except for the fact that when I print the report I get a blank
page (header only) between each page. I have not set any of the properties
for the list boxes other than the associate dataset and one list has a
grouping. In other words all the page break check boxes for the lists have
not been checked, which is the default. Also each list takes up the entire
width of the page, 8.5" and each list starts exactly where the last list
ended.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thank you,

You need to factor in the margins when you're calculating the page width.
Check if body width + report margin width is not more than the report page
size width. In that case, you'll end up with extra pages.

Okay, Mia Culpa, I had set the List's to 8.0 not the body. Now with the List
at 8.0 and the Body at 8.0 no unwanted pages are being displayed.
