Solved Unwanted different first two pages in a report

[WesJD]

I have a report with one row and two columns per page (landscape). Each column has one image field and one text field. My problem is that in print view, the first page displays only the left column; the second page displays only the right column; and the remaining pages display both columns as intended. I can't figure out why the first two pages are different. The report header section is set to zero height. I have set the "can grow" property to No for both the row height and the text box. I tried reordering the data to see if it was related to the particular records in my dataset, but it's not; records that display correctly further down the report give the anomalous behaviour when moved to Page 1 or 2. In Report view, there is nothing odd about the first two records, only in Print Preview. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

Can you post a sample db to demonstrate the problem?

Sure, here it is, thanks!

Thank you very much, that fixed it! What did you do?

I suspected the Textbox below the image might have been too tall, so I made it shorter.

My problem is that in print view, the first page displays only the left column; the second page displays only the right column; and the remaining pages display both columns as intended.

I was more alarmed by the non-standard size of the report page (width = 33 cm) and the alignment of the figures of different heights in the center

Huh. I thought I had tried that kind of cure. Thank you very much!

Thanks for your comment, but don't be alarmed . The non-standard page size is because it's not intended for printing; I'm displaying one page at a time on a widescreen TV. The picture alignment issue you pointed out shows up because I just threw in some miscellaneous pictures to illustrate my problem. The pictures I'm actually going to use are all cropped square so they line up nicely.

Glad we could help. Good luck with your project.
