Hello,
I have created a master-detail report (benefits statement); however I am having problems with the formatting. The master report consists of the employee information, address, ss#, etc. Then there is a Health, Life, Disability, FSA, and Dependent section (each its own detail report)

Here is the formatting issue: the "Life" detail report section data will be positioned on top of the "Health" section causing it to look like a jumbled mess. When I select the Life detail section and drag it down to the correct position, that page looks good, but when I go to the next page, something else is positioned incorrectly. So I correct this one, and it causes the next page to be out of position.

We are needing this for our end users to use and print off for open enrollment. Some locations have 4000+ employees so it would be impossible for them to format each page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Are you physically dragging the data when you are looking at the report, or are you dragging the detail section in the list? I'm talking about the list of the sections where you link the Detail Reports to the Master.....make sense? You may also have to look at the page breaks for the different sections...
