Hello, I added a subreport to a main report, It has 29 lines of date pulled from a table. When I view the subreport alone it looks fine. When it appears under the main report it shows the first page. When I look at the print preview it shows the same data set page after page (for 76 pages). I've tried moving the subreport to other sections of the main report but no change. When I added it to the footer I did see all 29 lines but there was pages of blank space between the header and footer.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated
Thanks

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
How is your Subreport linked to your Main Report?
What section did you put the body of your Main Report in?
What section of the Main Report did you put the Subreport in?

I figured out the 76 pages. Some areas were over the margins creating blank extra pages.
Now I can see all 29 lines of the subreport and can scroll down thru them to see the total but print preview only now shows one page with 12 lines


sub repor tis under page header, main is up under report header

Main report is just a header for an invoice creator
sub report is the details for the invoice

I moved the sub report up into the main report header area and it seems to work fine. I see all the 29 lines of data and the report prints out in 2 pages.

Thanks for taking a look at this for me.
