gap sub report

Hi
I am tring to design a report using the format of a repairs claim form
supplied by a customer I am using a sub report to enter the parts used which
is on the right hand of the page. My problem is that the subreport creates a
gap in the report on the left hand side of the form.
Any sugestion how I can remove this gap ?

That sounds like the subreport's CanGrow is pushing other
things down the page. If so, make the subreport control
taller so the top of the other controls are above the bottom
of the subreport control. Maybe(?) set the subreport
control's CanShrink to Yes??

You need to identify where the gap is occuring and make the
subreport tall enough so its bottom is below whatever is
moving down the page. If necassary, make the subreport as
tall as possible and set its CanGrow to No.

If that still doesn't clarify the problem area, please
provide some useful information about what is happening.
"the gaps are still there" just doesn't give me enough clues
to understand what is happening.
