No, this will not work. The problem ist that your (autosized) detail band ist to large for one page. So it would not help to split the large field in different fields because you still have one large detail band.

You have to split the data and put it in new rows. In this case PB can do a page break between the rows.



example:

Your row is two columns:

1; "a very very large text"



Split it to:

1; "a very very"

(null);"large text"



It solves the problem that PB forces a pake break in the details band. But it may have side effects because you have line feeds for every split you make. Depending on how large your splitted text parts are it may be that you have large unused empty space before a page break.



I solved it using a font with fixed character size. So I know how many characters I can put in one line. I splitted my text to have only one text line in a row. In this case I have no short line effects (e.g. only one word on new line because of my splt) and no empty space before a page break.

Hi René,

ok sorry now I understand what you meant.

I did some tests and it seems to work! Now I need to tweak the truncating of words within a line a bit, but in general it seems ok!

Thanks a lot!

Hi Olan, thank you.

I had already tried to do as you suggest but unfortunately nothing changes.
