Default Subreport-Overlapping data when 2 subreports are in the same secti

I have 2 sub reports within the main report, both in the same section. If the
the 1st subreport has 1 line(record) it prints over the data in the 2nd
subreport. Both sub reports can have varying numbers of records, so I cant
know exactly where to start the 2nd report.

I have tried to change the 'top' property of the 2nd subreport dependiing on
the no or records in the 1st subreport, but the property is read only when
running the report.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Place the 2nd subreport control below (not overlapping) the first one, and
with no other controls overlapping them vertically.

Set the CanGrow property of both subreport controls to Yes, and make sure
the section's CanGrow is Yes as well.

Thanks so much Allen. My CanGrow properties were fine but the subreports were
just touching slightly. Such an easy thing to solve the problem, many thanks,
Jan.
