Use the Bottom Offset property to define the vertical space which will appear after the band. The Bottom Offset is expressed in report units.

Print Position

Use the Print Position property to declare the vertical position on the page where the band should be printed. The Print Position is expressed in report units. If the print position of the report is beyond the Print Position of the band, then the report advances to the next page and attempts to print the band again.

 

Note:

If Print Position is used for a detail band, then only the first detail band of the page uses the position with the remaining detail bands printing below the first.
