Blank pages in report preview

Hello, Everyone,

I'm new to Reporting Services. I wrote a report today containing one grouping. Everything appears all right in the report preview, except that every other page is "blank", i.e., shows only the page header and page footer; all grouping and detail information is missing. The data on the page following the blank page seems to pick up where the previous non-blank page left off, so all information seems to be present within the report.

The report width and height properties are typical portrait-style -- 8.5 x 11 inches. The columns do not "run off the edge" of the report page boundary. I haven't selected any page break for the grouping, as the grouping detail is typically only a few rows long, and would otherwise result in a very large number of pages. Can anyone offer some advice to correct this problem, please?

Many thanks!

CraigI found the problem cause. In Reporting Services,

report body width must be <= (report width - report margins width).

I reduced the margins to zero width, and the pagination problem disappeared!|||

Hi,

I am struggeling with the same problem, only your solution does not work for me...

My page width = 30cm, Report Width = 26cm, Margins = 1 cm allround, and no fields are set to CanGrow=false, any other ideas?

I'm using RS 2000

|||I have just upgraded the report to RS 2005 without any modifications, and the problem disappeared, seems to be a RS 2000 bug...|||

Hi,

I'm having the same problem but with a twist.

If the body width <= report width+margins then i only get 1 page of the report with no blank pages. (supposed to be 2)

If however the body width > report width+margins then i get all the pages but with an extra 2 blank pages.

Any ideas anyone? (I'm using RS2005)

Craig,

Thanks! That one had me. All I had to do was right-click on the "Body" section and set the width to 10in and it worked fine.

|||Had another similar problem, this time involving a matrix Table (cross-tab) in the Body section of the report. I had to actually make the Table itself smaller (narrower) until the blank page disappeared in Preview. Also, I noticed that in Preview the blank pages didn't show up until I clicked the Print Layout button on the toolbar in Preview. Similar problems happen in Reporting Services report viewer. Weird.|||

I am using a matrix control in a report containing 2 subreports. The matrix control is present in one of the subreports. When I export the full report into the PDF,if the matrix are rendered in a single page, the report is fine and there are no blank pages. But when the number of columns exceeds the first page and moves into the second page then there are 3 blank pages in the report for every page with content.

This problem occurs only when I try to generate the whole report. No blank pages appear when I render subreports into PDFs individually.

Please help!!

Cheers!!
