Subreport problem

[Flynn]

I've got a report which links four tables:

meetings
meeting_papers
meeting_attendees
paper_details

The report produces a list of meetings, with info about
the meeting (location, date/time, budget etc) in the
meeting header, and with a list of papers and associated
details in the report detail section.

In the meeting header, I've defined a subreport listing
the meeting attendees.

All of this works fine except that the subreport (4 cm
wide and located in the right hand section of the report
header) pushes all the meeting info controls to the left
of it down the page, as if the subreport was as wide as
the page, creating an empty area on the printed page.

There's no controls below the subreport and there's no
overlap between the subreport and the meeting info
controls.

Any clues as to how I can prevent the subreport creating
all this white space to its left?

Many thanks.

Make sure the tops of all other controls in the meetings header are above
the bottom of the the attendees subreport.

OK, many thanks, Duane, I'll check that out. The
implication of what you say is that a subreport does take
up the available width of the paper, regardless of how
wide you define the sub report itself. Is that true?

You are correct any control below the subreport will be pushed downward as
the subreport grows.
