Hi folks

I couldn't find anything that related to this so here goes.

I have reports with subreports where the sub reports get hidden based on critieria. One report has several sub reports each in a group of some sort. The main reader show this info

when the group changes, normal it's a clean changeover

However with this one group I get this

Which to me says that there is some sort of output.

However if I remove the "on format" for that group footer (in this case), it prints normally. There is no code in the on format procedure (yet) and the groupfooter is set to hidden. I have removed the sub report and get the same output. If I remove the "on format' precedure from the properties, it works fine, no overlap.

The header is set to hidden in the group.

Can someone point me in the right direction please. I can't get any balder.
