Keeping variable length objects from overwriting each other

When subreports or other variable length objects are placed above other objects in one section of the report while the Can Grow option for the variable length object is toggled on in the Format Editor, that object may overprint objects positioned directly below it unless you have:

You can eliminate this overprinting problem by creating multiple sections in an area and placing objects below the variable length object in their own section(s).

Now, when the report runs, the section with the variable length object will finish printing before the section below it prints and you will get the results you want. See Combining two or more unrelated reports.

Note:    Memo and BLOB fields, as well as subreports, can cause overprinting.
