Subreports overlapping data in same section 1

[sds786]

Hello,
I have Crystal 11.5 and working on Oracle 10 database.
I have three subreports in my report i.e. A, B and C. A contains Employee education info, B contains Employee previous work experience and C contains related supervisor comments. I have placed these three subreports in two vertical directions (columns), in first column I placed A and below that B, and in next column I placed C.
If I place these three subreports in same section then the info from subreport A overlap because it has variable information, but If create a new section for Subreport B then it goes on the next page and there is lot of spaces (blank rows) between A and B as subreport C mostly has lots of info and it's height is more than A.

My question is – how can I place my two subreports in the same section vertically, and subreport A should not overlap subreport B?

Any response will be highly appreciated.

Put sub C in Section_a and format the section to "underlay following sections". Then put sub A in Section_b and sub B in Section_c.

Thanks LB for great post, this work for three sub reports but when I added more sub reports then I am having difficulity to handle this logic i.e. currently I have 7 sub reports and I need to manage in two rows, all sub reports are variable information. Is there any other way/property if I can put two reports in same column/section and avoid ovelapping the bottom one.
Once again thanks.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you expect two rows to look like given that each subreport has different lengths. It seems to me that there is no way of avoiding white space if you want the appearance of rows.

If you want to eliminate all white space, you could place the subs in seven separate sections and then format the sections to multiple columns. However, I'm guessing you might want some info to align with info from another sub.
