A Blank Page Follows the Report Header

[David S]

I have a report that has a report header and a report footer. I also
have a group header which is set to force a new page "before section".
I need to have each group break go to a new page. How can I get the
report header to not print on its own page or have the report footer
print on its own page and still have the proper page breaking for my
group section? If I have a group header section and say force new page
before section then I get a blank page with the report header. If I
have a group footer instead and say force page break after section then
I get the Report Footer on a blank page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, David.

How complex is this report header?

If is is just a text box saying "My Report", you could dump it.
Instead put a text box in the group header, with ControlSource:
=IIf([Page]=1, "My Report", Null)
and set its CanShrink property to Yes.

Thanks Allen. I actually have a graphic for the header and footer and
so I can't shrink them. Your suggestion did get me thinking in some
different directions though and I did find another solution. I put a
page break in the Group Footer and turned off the "After Section". My
input data has page numbers that I use to break on and I just added
logic in the Group Footer Format event to make the page break invisible
when I reached the last page (causing no page break to occur).

Thanks for your help.
