Hi:

My report has a number of subreports that are stacked vertically. I have can
grow/shrink set to yes for all of them. Of course, if I have many records in
a subreport it grows and interferes with the report below it. Is there a way
to make the subreports move further down in the report if necessary?

Thanks
 
Unless you have some controls overlapping each other, the other subreports
should move down the page as well.

You might want to check that the Can Grow property is set for the (Detail?)
section as well as for the subreport control.

Sometimes it helps to put each subreport into a different section. Then if
you set the sections' KeepTogether property to Yes, each subreport stays
together, but the page break can occur between them. To do this, you can
choose the primary key field in the report's Sorting'n'Grouping dialog, and
choose Yes for Group Header and Group Footer. This creates header and footer
sections for every record, and you can place your subreports into these
different sections. If you have more than 3 subreports, you can create more
group header/footer sections by entering the same field on subsequent lines
in the Sorting'n'Grouping box.
 
Thanks for you speedy response Allen.

I figured out that it was actually just those little subreport labels that
were getting in the way. I added the label data into the subreport header
and voila, no more problem.

Have a good night........oops, day for you I guess.
