How Do I Get Rid of Blank Pages in Reports? Liz

sql server reporting services:
Every report I've done puts a blank page in between each report page. The
page header is printed on all the blank pages.

I haven't specified any page breaks anywhere.

One way to alleviate this, in some cases, would be to enclose your
controls (i.e., tables/matrices/textboxes, etc) in a list or rectangle
control and make sure that 'Fit table on one page if possible' is
selected for the table/matrix controls (where applicable). Hope this
is helpful.

The most likely cause for this is either:
* your report items stretch too wide (beyond the page dimensions) and
are causing extra pages to be printed
* but more likely; the dimensions for your report are not the same as
your printing paper dimensions. Always check the width of your report
body + margins is about equal to the size of your printing paper (e.g.
for A4, your report body should be around 19.5cm wide, and left and
right margins 0.75cm each)

Well, I'm afraid none of this works.

I put my table in a rectangle and specified to fit on one page when
possible. My report size is not larger than the page size. Nothing is
running off the sides or bottom. The whole report prints; I just get an
extra page between each report page.

I've messed with all of my margins making them bigger then smaller but that
doesn't make any difference either.

If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears. This is going to be a huge waste
of paper.

Thanks,
Liz

I'm fairly sure its to do with the size of your report body being
bigger than the paper size (width or height); try setting the report
body size to the absolute minimum it needs to be (i.e. the EXACT size
of the table in the design view) and see if that makes a difference

I did all of the above; nothing worked. My entire report width was 10 inches
for a landscape report.

Finally, changing all my margins to zero fixed the problem.

You had a 10 inch width (not sure of height) and you had margins. OK. What
is your printer's printable page area?

IOW: I'm pretty sure you were given correct advice here. Your height +
your top and bottom margin were > your printer's printable page height..
versus actual paper page height...
