Razzak & Javier, Thanks for your help - I have managed to shift the objects by dragging them in 'groups'.
One other question if I may, how do I change the width of the toolbar with the Standard Controls, Database Controls, Variable Controls etc. options ? On one machine all options are displayed, while on my laptop only three options are displayed at a time. There is ample space to display all on my laptop but I can't work out how to extend the toolbar. Thank you.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I can make this work. John, Technically, while in Report Designer, when objects are copied, the routine also copies all relative coordinates including the native band, so that they can be pasted on the exact same band accordingly. Therefore, you cannot copy an object related to one band and then paste to a different band. Keeping the height of the original band, you will first need to simulate the same height of the anticipated band and then simply drag&drop all objects. Once dragged&dropped, you may adjust the height of the related band accordingly. Hope that explains the current logic of copying and pasting report object(s) in Report Designer.
