Hi folks,

    I have designed a report template in Report Builder 6.0 with
boiler plate text and graphics which I want to be printed on each page
of the report. After I base a Group Above report on this template and
run the report which contains 10-15 records, those records which have
description 10-12 lines always print on top of the boiler plate text
which I have created in the template. When I change the Horizontal
Elasticity Property of this particular field to ‘Variable', then the
text does not print on the boiler plate objects but the text stretches
horizontally so that the corresponding text for other fields is
disturbed and their text is not printed under their respective column
headings. Should I be using an anchor for this? I also created a frame
enclosing the boiler-plate text but even in this case the records
fetched by the query prints on top of the boiler plate objects.  Am I
missing some basic property of the repeating frame or the particular
field?

TIA
