I had a similar thing in a large report. In ours it was a case of not allowing duplicates, but for some reason the report still made room for them as if they were there (lots of weird blank lines). You can set the properties of the group headers/footers/detail sections to Can Grow:No, but that didn't fix it completely. Can't tell you if this is the right way, but out of desperation I also set each text box or related control to Can Grow: No and it works fine. (well, also did a few dances around a bonfire at the full moon...) HTH
