Hi everyone,
I tend to use the report wizard to at least produce the bulk of the report and then tweak to suit.
When I need grouping the wizard wastes a lot of space displaying each group. In this I mean that a wide control in the group header affects the position of the first control in the detail. If I try and shrink the group header label, the control shrinks as well.

Is there a technique/trick to be able to get back the wasted space with the labels linked to the controls, or do I have to break the links between label and control to get the positioning I am looking for.?

TIA

Not an answer to your question, but I long ago stopped using the wizard for reports as I spent longer undoing the 'helpful' layout it creates than the time it takes me to design everything from scratch
