    Space between Groups in finished document

    Hi!

    I'm working on quite a large (I think) infopath form, running almost 2000 fields... Now, I've sort of mastered most skills I need to keep updating the form when necessary, except for one thing. I'm having trouble deleting empty space between groups. It looks something lilke this:

    (Group 1)

    (empty space)

    (empty space)

    (empty space)

    (Group 2)

    This is very annoying, since my boss is riding me about the environment and the expenses that accompany more paper used while printing the forms (about 2 A4-sized sheets come out empty between Groups 1 and 2).

    I've tried to ix this, but in the designer view, there is nothing between the two groups, not even a single space or empty line. I'm really frustrated, bacause I can't fix this :( I hope this problem has an easy solution, because I've worked for two weeks on it, just to improve it...

     Thanks guys!

    Bart

    Are the sections in a layout table? If so, make sure the row height is set to auto. If not, check that the height of the sections themselves are set to auto...

    Hi! And thanks for your help. I've tried setting all the row heigts to auto and I've tried setting the height of the sections themselves to auto too, but none of this seems to be working :(

    The form is built up from different sections, which expand if a certain box is checked of if a boolean is selected TRUE. Now, I think my issue has to do with this, because when I expand the whole form in the preview mode, the empty space that's normally about 2 a4 sized sheets has been reduced to just a few lines.

    By the way, I think I may have figured it out; there are about 45 controls that are hidden if a certain boolean is selected FALSE. Though the controls are hidden, they are still there, you just don't see them.

    I think if I can figure out how to insert a certain control is the same boolean is selected TRUE, my problems will go away.

     Does this sound logical?

    Jay! My problem is fixed. Thanks to your tip about automatically doing the height. I first tried it on a few sections (my form has about a milion gajilion sections), and I had to do all sections...

     Anyways, thanks!
