Restricting details area

[John]

Hi

I am doing a report to print invoices on pre-printed laser invoice forms.
The invoices can go on more than one page potentially depending on the
amount of details.

On my report the detail section contains a sub-report due to the complexity
of the detail section. I need to keep the detail section to a certain height
so it fits on pre-printed invoices' detail box. I set detail 'Can Grow' to
No, the detail section remains fixed height and fits on the invoice form but
skips any details that do not fit in the area instead of taking the overflow
details to the next page within the same fixed detail area. If I set the
'Can Grow' to Yes then as you would expect the detail section becomes
variable height and does not remain within the pre-printed form fixed detail
box. How do I solve this problem?

Thanks

Regards

Ah, the joys of pre-printed forms!

There is no easy solution, beyond writing a lot of code. Is is possible to
work with blank paper and put the invoice form's boilerplate in your report?
