Problem with Page Footer showing up on Top of the Page

[John21]

Hello,

I have some more questions that are based on the beginning of this topic.

Let me show you the structure of the reports to hopefully make it more clear:

(External Template)
Report1:
SubReport1

(Main Report)
Report2:
PageHeaderBand1
Panel1
PageFooterBand1

SubReport1 is actually Report2 as it uses Report1 as an External Template. Our program currently works in a way that doesn't allow to create reports without an External Template.

Here is how the External Template looks like:

Now, I tried using the External Template to put the header/footer components there, but because I need data fields there (and I can't seem to figure that out), my approach is to place everything in the main report (Report2).

When I place the header/footer in Report2 as in this picture:

I expect i to print the same way, but instead it looks like this:

Could this be caused because of the SubReport in the External template? Should I tell my team to work on a solution where the External Template is optional rather than obligatory?

Thank you.

Hello,

I just wanted to update you on this problem I had. It was the External Template causing the issue, and now it's set as optional rather than mandatory. So now it works, and the footer is no longer broken.

Thank you.
