 Hi SpaScapes, I have seen this before when an object on the screen goes beyond the margins of the report, maybe that was the case? -Michael

Hi SpaScapes, Take a look at the Print Before scripts on the Qty and Cost fields on the Estimate (Custom) template. This should give you a better idea of what you need to do. -Michael

 I found a fix for the problem incase anyone else encounters it. I'm not sure why it fixed the problem, but it did. The sample template has the logo and header information in the 'GroupHeader1' band. I created a 'PageHeader' band at the top of the page, copied the GroupHeader1 data into it, and reduced the size of the ...
