Eliminate extra space between subreport and main report page hdr when no data returned in main report
I have subreport in the report footer, when there is not data returned in the main report there is quite a bit a space between the main report page header and the subreport. Is there a way that I can adjust this if no data is returned? See the attachment. Is there a way to test for no data returned in the main report?
