Big gap after first item

[Guest]

I have created a report which is an order form for ordering parts from
different companies. There is a fresh page for each company and the page
displays a list of the orders from the company.
It works well apart from the first page displays the first item then leaves
a huge gap between it and the next item then all the items stay together. The
second page leaves a gap but not as big.

I have tried setting the sorting and grouping to both whole and first detail
with no apparent difference. The detail is set to force new row/column after
each section. Again I have tried a variety of combinations for this but with
no difference apart from if I remove it completely I end up with all orders
for all companies on the same page.

Am I missing something obvious?? Thankyou in advance for any suggestions.

Not sure if that will make a different, but try to set the CanShrink property
of the section to Yes

Tried that but it doesn't appear to make any difference.

Thankyou for the suggestion though.

Check the source for the report's data for blank rows.
Deleting all the data in all the fields for a given record does not delete the
record and will leave a blank row.

Just a wizard prodder
