How can I eliminate white space in an access report when viewed in Report View?
I think I've tried all the different properties but can't seem to figure out how to eliminate the extra white space at the bottom of my report when viewed in Report View.

Here is the screenshot of the layout in Design View;

Grab the bottom of the report and drag it up to just under the bottom controls.

It looks to me like a problem with background, not controls.

Capricorn;

I'm not sure exactly which control to apply your method too on my report.. I don't see that a specific control is causing the issue..

The backround is not causing it and neither is the sub report

Let's be clear...

Your "White Space" is at the end of the report.
This is not technically "White space" as it is commonly referred to.

If you have a report that has 100 records, but only 75 will fit on the first page, then the remaining 25 records will be on the second page, the remaining "Paper" will be "Blank".
This is normal

Your issue seems to be that the "Image" ends, ... and the rest of the space is "blank".
So first try Setting the Size mod of the image to "Stretch"

Also it seems (Not sure though) that there controls have controlsources that may still display the correct values in any report section, so try moving these controls to the detail section.

Also try using an Image Control inside the section, instead of setting an image for the entire report.
