report producing blank page

[ryetee]

I have a non standard size report (for printing labels)

The report is just over 10cm wide and just over 15cm deep.

I have solved the blank pages caused by exceeding the width but I'm still getting a blank page when I move some data down. I am still within 15 cm but it's throwing me a blank page. Even if I extend the in design mode depth to say 20cm (ie the height in Detail) it's throwing a blank page (I can see this in print preview).

I initially set up the report (it's a long time ago so memory fades) using the label wizard setting up a label 4*6 inches (10.16 * 15.24 cms) and it is this i'm trying to tweak. Is there a property I'm missing somewhere?

did you reduce the bottom page footer, and report footer?
dont leave any empty space.

dont leave any empty space.

page footer and header height = 0 cm

I'm printing on a 6 inch (15.24 cm) deep label.
In design mode my detail height is 14.898 cm. So everything should be ok.
I think I've had a brainwave - it's probably the margins pushing me over the 15.24.
I'll be back

Removing the margins sorted it, but why aren't the margins displayed in design view? I just assumed what I had to play with was what was on 'show' in design mode.

i guess margins are irrelevant. only the data is.

Some indication would be good so you don't use the space reserved for margins.
