Locking section size? 1

[delphidestructor]

I do not know if it is possible to do. I’m using version 9. I would like to lock the page header and footer sizes on a report template so any reports made from that template will look consistent. I do not want other report creators to be able to increase or decrease the height of the sections unintentionally. I have looked everywhere for a way to do this but I cannot find anything.

You can make any section read only from the Section Expert, but it will lock down everything in that section, not just the height.

Report, Section Expert.
Highlight the section that you want to lock down.
Select the property "Read Only".

You may also want to look into Report Templates. They mihg tbe an alternative solution.

Thanks, that is perfect. I don't know how I missed that option?
