SYMPTOMS

There is extra white space on your report after the last detail record or section of the report, before the report footer section prints. The extra white space is as tall as the detail section height. Note that this problem occurs only with reports that have a report footer section.

This problem can occur with reports created in Microsoft Access version 2.0, and with reports created in Microsoft Access version 1.x that you are using in version 2.0.
