Duplicate Repeating Charts

[JohnW]

Hi,

I have form based charts and tables and reports as sub-objects
in one report, "Appendix", using. This takes one report
header and nine section headers, no footers or detail section used.

However, I noticed, as I built "Appendix", that a peculiar effect has
happened, which to my, ignorant eye appears to be random. The effect is that
some charts are repeated on the next page, and the following pages, for
several more pages. As they repeat they gradually change vertical height on
the Appendix report's pages. That is, the same chart (or table) repeats on
several following pages but changes height, often on the first, next page
too tall and, then, getting progressively smaller on the following pages.

I've placed page beaks at strategic points but to no effect. But I don't
really know what's going on: Basically I'm just guessing!!

Do you know what causes this?

Thanks,

John

These symptoms are way too unusual. I would start over with a minimal amount
of complexity and then continue to add stuff.

Hi, Duane.

Yes that's basically what I've done. I'm under time pressure to deliver so
I've taken a hit and divided the Appendix report into three separate reports.
(There are three major sections to the survey).
Spreading the charts, tables and listings (text sub reports) throughout the
twenty sections (maximum number of non-page details or report, headers and
footers) works fine so far. I have the code to sequence the page numbers
across all three and will just have to produce separate PDF's for each report
rather than one single PDF (unless there is a way to merge PDF's together-
any thoughts ???).
The survey is scheduled to run again next year so perhaps I'll find the
answer to the open issues by then.

Thanks for your time.

John
