  We use ActiveReports 12 and have a section report. The report has a size of at least 2 pages. On the first page there should be a page footer image, which has a certain size. On the other pages, there is just a text in the page footer so the size of the footer is a lot smaller. Now I have the problem that…

  • either the first page with the image is ok and on the other pages the report footer is too high and therefore the page has a large white space between the detail text and the footer.

  • or te first page with the image overlaps the detail text, which is not readable and on the other pages it looks fine.

  I’m currently not able to have a different page footer size on each page. Is there something I’m missing?

  Hello,

  You can achieve the requirement by controling the height of the section, and fields’ visibility in PageHeader’s Format event using a global variable, as follows:

    int number=0;
  public void PageHeader_Format()
  {
  	number++;
  	if(number != 1)	
  	{	
  		Picture1.Visible = false;	
  		TextBox2.Visible = true;
  		PageFooter.Height = 0.25F;
  	}
  }
  
  

  The sample report is attached for your reference. Please note that the report is bound to NWIND.mdb shipped with the product.

  Regards,
