Unable to get datawindow group trailer and summary to slide up

Question

I have

1. a report with grouping.
2. some items displayed on the group trailer band
3. an autosized datawindow in summary band
4. a footer band

A run of the report brings 5 rows of data returned in the report's detail band.

The problem is, the report displays 4 rows of data on the first page then automatically puts the last row of the data on a second page along with the group trailer band and the autosized datawindow in the summary band.

I think this is due to the associated row of the grouping mentioned in the following. http://pbbraindump.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/groups-and-grouping/

So essentially there are 4 rows of data, followed by a large empty space in page 1, followed by 1 row of data on the second page + trailer + summary.

I've tried setting "Slide Up" on all of the items in the trailer group and the summary datawindow but it does not slide up to make the report 1 page even when it looks like there is enough space on the printed report.

Why does it not slide up? Can it be forced to slide up?

Answer 1

Have you checked the 'Autosize height' on all of the bands?
