Blank space between Details section and Page Footer section.

hey folks,
this is probably a newbe question, but please bear with me. so here is the deal i have this report and i have one grouping in it and then i've suppressed the Report Footer and have some stuff in the Page Footer. Here is a picture to illustrate this (i'll continue the question in my next post):So the problem is that when i Preview the report, it gives me blank space between my Details section and the Page Footer. Here is a picture of the problem. Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks.|||Suppress GroupFooter1 if there's nothing in it.|||it's already suppressed.
Also, none of my sections has the Keep Together, No Page After, or Print At Bottom Of Page options checked.

Both Group Header #1 and Report Footer are hidden and suppressed.

And I still get the blank space.|||Hi,

May be a silly answer. But your report is displaying normal. Your report data is finished within the page (for ex half of the page). Your picture is displaying at the Page Footer. So the remaining space remains as blank.

Actually what do you want to do?|||O, so what you are saying is that the PageFooter always displays at the bottom of the page no matter what?

I knew it was a newbie question.

What i wanted was for the stuff in the Page Footer to display directly below the last record in the Details section, but i guess a Page Footer won't work for that.|||Yes, Hope you got it.

In your case, you can display the object (or anything) in the Report Footer area so that it will display right after the report. But it will display only at the end of the page not in all pages.

To display in all pages, you can use page footer and use some formula to restrict the display it is last page.
Ex.

Right Click your picture : Select Format Graphic option. Check Suppress and then click X-2 button. Select PageNumber and TotalPagecount from the PrintState functions list/enter the following

PageNumber = TotalPageCount

Click Ok.

Note. Place the picture in Page Footer as well as in Report Footer so that you can get the picture in all the pages except the last page and at the end of the report|||harmonycitra,
now you are confusing me. Maybe I am missunderstanding you about the Page Footer; in your first post you said that in case the report data is finished withing the page (for ex half the page) than having blank space between the Details and Page Footer sections is normal. Now, in your last post, you said that if i wanted to print something on each page right after the Details section, i can use the Page Footer. Please understand that by "right after the Details section" I mean no blank space between the Details section and the section that comes right below it, hence I can not use the Page Footer for that purpose since if I do a blank space would show up on the report if the data in Details has finished within the half of the page. Do you see the contradiction here or I am just not understanding what exactly is it that you were saying earlier?|||Sorry for the confusion.

Normally Page Footer will display at the bottom of each and every page. If a report contains 3 pages, the first two pages will be filled fully. The third page i,e the last page may not having the data to fill the entire page. In that case there will be a blank space appear between the Details and the Page Footer.
This is not because of page footer but because of detail section is finished half of the third page.

But the Report Footer will display at the end of the report. (always in the last page)

In your example which you had posted, try to put the totals in the report footer and finish the boxes, lines in Report Footer. It'll work fine.

Hope you understand. Otherwise I'll send some sample|||yes, i understand. i'd actually already put the summary lines, etc. in the Report Footer and it works fine, i just wanted to clear this up for myself. you learn something new every day i guess.

thanks for your help.

Blank page in report manager

When i load report manager everything appears to be running fine. The header, footer and nav bar at the top load correctly. Even the directory and file tree load fine.

The problem is when you click on a report everything from below the nav bar ( where the report would be rendered) blanks out and load bar at the bottom just tacks at full.

One way to fix this problem is to open the web config file for report manager save it then close the file.

This is not a viable solution to the problem. I was wondering if any one else had the same problem . If so how to fix it ?

Has anyone had a similar problem with reporting services. Also is there a place to formally site this as a bug

We are having a very similar problem that is driving me nuts. My end users will get this situation - Report Manager banner and links at top, and blank below the color line. They all have the appropriate permissions. At first, we thought it was caused by an Internet Explorer patch, an uninstalling that patch seemed to work... for a little while. Now, they are complaining again. I get the same patches, and I still have full access (of course, I do have sys admin and sql admin rights). I have a suspicion that it is not an IE patch, but an IE security setting or security policy that may be causing it. When I looked at the Report Manager homepage in FrontPage (just to see what I could see), I noticed that banner is rendered in HTML, and it sets the language for the rest of the page to Javascript. If the Internet Explorer security doesn't allow Javascript, or even prompts for permissions, that may be preventing the display of the rest of the page, and would explain why the banner displays and doesn't just throw an error message to the end user. I am investigating this more. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

blank page in pdf report

When I export my report to PDF, I get a blank page that shows up. The
header and footer are on the second page, but the body is blank. There
isn't enough data for a second page. Why is one being created? Any ideas?Most likely, something in your footer is touching one or more of your
margins. Make sure everything is inside the margins and you should be
good.

blank page & page footer problem

hi i am very concerned about this problem in my report.

to solve this problem i increased the height of page footer,blank page vanishes but the page footer is not printing on every page,it is only printing on 1 st page .

i am having probelm because the records from the dataset are more than the page limit , page break is there but no footer is printing on the second page only blank space is there.

can u please help me out from this problem?

If you look at the page footer properties, both PrintOnFirstPage and PrintOnLastPage should be true.

Blank Page

The report has just one page of information...but a blank second page is
printed with the page header and footer...
Any advise ?make sure you dont have "new page after" checked in the properties and also
check to make sure the dotted back ground is the same size as your table. I
am drawing a blank so all I can think of is dotted background. I know there
is another word for it. LOL!!! Its the area in the layout view behind your
table or graphs. Just resize it by dragging the edge to make it the same
size as your table.
