Hi folks,

    I have designed a report template in Report Builder 6.0 with boiler 
plate text and graphics which I want to be printed on each page of the 
report. After I base a Group Above report on this template and run the 
report which contains 10-15 records, those records which have description 
10-12 lines always print on top of the boiler plate text which I have 
created in the template. When I change the Horizontal Elasticity Property 
of this particular field to ‘Variable’, then the text does not print on 
the boiler plate objects but the text stretches horizontally so that the 
corresponding text for other fields is disturbed and their text is not 
printed under their respective column headings. Should I be using an 
anchor for this? I also created a frame enclosing the boiler-plate text 
but even in this case the records fetched by the query prints on top of 
the boiler plate objects.  Am I missing some basic property of the 
repeating frame or the particular field?

TIA


Hassan
