length object is toggled on in the Format Editor, that object may overprint
objects positioned directly below it unless you have:
• Expanded the section to fit the maximum size of the object.
• Spaced the objects, allowing enough space for the first object to complete
printing before the second one begins.
You can eliminate this overprinting problem by creating multiple sections in
an area and placing objects below the variable length object in their own
section(s).
Now, when the report runs, the section with the variable length object will
finish printing before the section below it prints and you will get the results
you want. See
Combining two or more unrelated reports .
Note:
Many report objects can use the Can Grow option and can, therefore, cause
overprinting:
• Text fields
• Formula fields
• Memo fields
• BLOB fields
• Subreports
• Cross-Tabs
