hi folks,

i have a modified sales invoice, which print out various footer type based on scenario  
eg:  
1.display amount in words,  
2.This is a computer generated letter no signature required  
3.various branches/ subsidiaries address

the issues here when i put all properties to be bottom of page, report will generate 2 pages even if item purchase from customer only 2 items…

anyone knows a work around? [\*-)]

some of the attempt i did in my footer section(but still not effective in rectifying the multiple pages issues),  
4.On footer preDataItem:  
CurrReport.Showoutput( **bolDisplayAmount** );  
CurrReport.Showoutput( **bolShowNoSignature** );  
CurrReport.Showoutput( **bolShowSubsidiaries** );

5.Check no. of pages in request forms options=0

Have you set the right properties of Report ?

Such as TopMargin,BottomMargin,Orientation

As well as check if there any additional/unnecessary section is displayed during preview of report.

i found the work around would be taking out the unnecessary dataitem thats not much in used and try to combine them if possible, in my case i take out total data item sections all together…, and play around with the properties(eg: PrintOnEveryPage, PlaceInBottom, KeepWithNext)
