Hi Geoff, I may just do that - but I have more serious complaints than lack of page breaks. I'm having a lot of trouble with the report builder. Even for simple things, it's buggy - the "overwrite a previously opened file with the current document" bug in particular is spectacular, and I get regular access violations and crashes on two separate machines. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired - and yes, I'm running the updated version. I hate to rant but I'm having trouble believing that this thing was released with the severity of bugs it contains. I worked around the page breaks issue with minimum height sections. And I've worked out through trial and error that HTML Formatted text doesn't support <p>, <strong>, <em> or <li> but does support <b>. But now, not strictly a report builder issue, everytime I try to run a report as a subreport JRUN jumps to 100% CPU usage and stays there (the subreport works fine standalone). I was under the impression I was fully patched but I'm double-checking that now. Failing that I'm going to set up CF on another machine and try that. Basically I'm cursing the original developer of this project (whose work I an merely completing) who decided CF's reports would be good enough. They're not.
