How to eliminate empty space when fields in a report are blank?
We want the next record to show after the last filled-in field.
I can't seem to lift the footer, could that be part of the problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Lynette

You would set the field property to Can Shrink for each field.

Thanks. Unfortunately, all my fields are on "shrink", even the footer. You would think that should work.

Not if the fields overlap at all.
There is a third party book with comprehensive training information on the ACT! reports, here is the link.

Full disclusure I wrote the reports chapters of the book. The report chapters work for all version of the ACT! program since ACT! 2007.

I did correct that heading under each record. So only the space between each record needs to be fixed. See looking at some "canned" reports

You have to be careful of the individual field height and placement.
