Author Blank page at start of report.

If I compile my app under Plus 221 no problems with report printing.

If I compile under 2.5 I get an extra page printed before all the normal
pages with no data but all the graphics/etc that would normally print. (One
record per page) It's almost as if it's printing a null record and then all
the records it should print.

I'm sure this is a simple one but I'm at a loss. I did some searching
before posting but if it's posted I'm not looking for the right thing I
guess.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly
appreciated.

In 2.5 they changed the default height of bands to make the report
designer more user friendly. Unfortunately that had some ill effects,
one being unwanted spaces in bands which would sometimes cause blank
pages or labels. It forced everyone to manually set unused band heights
to zero.

Try setting the reportgroup.headerband.height = 0 and see if that helps.
You may need to do the same with other group bands as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it and report back.
