Absolute position or location of report table.

Hello,

I have a report that prints cards for customers. The body of the report contains an address box, letter body, followed by a table that contains all the people to be printed on the cards. If the number exceeds 6 people, another page is to be printed, with no address or letter body, but the table with the remainder of the people on it.

I have been able to get everything to work except for the location of the table on the subsequent pages. They do not appear at the bottom as they do on the first page, but at the top of the page. I've tried using a rectangle as a container for the table, with no luck.

I seem to remember doing this in the past, but as projects get shelved for an extended period of time, the technical knowledge tends to fade. Smile

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried setting both PrintOnFirstPage and PrintOnLastPage to true? This is described here:

If you don't want header labels to show on the second and subsequent pages, then put them all inside of one container element and set its Hidden property to true if the PageNumber is > 1. This way the header area will still be rendered but everything in it is invisible.
