How to make data band fixed size

I have a report with a top and a bottom databand. The bottom databand is used as a return stub that can be teared off for the customer.
Is there a way I can make the bottom databand fixed size?

Thanks,

Ricky

Hello,

Try to set the CanGrow and CanShrink properties to false.

Thank you.

Aleksey, thank you for your reply, but it doesn't quit solve my problem. I'll describe my page layout and what I am trying to achieve, maybe it'll help to let you know what I'm trying to do.

We have an invoice with top and bottom portion with exactly the same information but just different display. The top portion is for the store to keep and the bottom portion can be teared off as a return stub. We have a header and databand in the top portion and right below the cutline there's also a header and a databand. The header below the cutline has to dock with the top of the databand at the bottom portion.

also, is there a way to limiting the number of rows to display in the databand?

Thank you very much for your help~~

Ricky

Perhaps, you have to use Panels. Add panels for each data bands. Place data bands in these panels.
