2nd Table on Report Shifts Down

Hi

I have created a report with in reporting services with 2 tables. One at the top of the page, and one at the bottom. The one at the top will contain payment details which grows depending on how many items(rows) are in my dataset and the table at the bottom contains a cheque layout - for ex. Pay Mr X, Date...etc. This table will fill out boxes on a cheque

My problem is that the table at the bottom(cheque) is being shifted down depending on what's in the top table(payment items). I need that the cheque table remain in the sample position, independent from what is in the payment table.

Has anybody ever encountered this problem and have a solution to it?

Thanks in advance.Hi

managed to solve this problem using Sub Reports. I put the top table into a sub report and it works fine.

The only problem is when adding another level of grouping in the Table within the sub report, the initial problem emerges again.

Any other ideas?

|||Try putting the table inside of a rectangle (invisible border). The table should "consume" the space in the containing rectangle before pushing the other table down. However, there is no guarantee that the bottom table will stay on the page if the top grows too much.
