Detail lines overlap

Hi

D7, Fastrep 2.51

I have created a report linked to a dataset. It has a group band with detail band.
When I preview or print the report some of the detail lines are overlaping. Just the top of the letters of some of the detail lines are showing, they are covered by the next line. Is there some I am doing wrong?

Thanks

    Hi
    make sure the text objects are within the boundaries of the band they are on, also increase size of text objects to suit font used, and also check the aligment properties top, center, bottom, find on text toolbar.
    Also make sure bands arenot overlapped on design page.
    regards ;)

    Thanks for the response. I found that after I emptied my database and reentered
    some new records it worked fine. This is a bit strange as I viewed the previous data in a DBGrid and it was fine. I am using Dbisam database.

    a couple of things to look out for with grouping, first grouping works best with a single query result set across several tables using joins and having an order by clause to sort the data according to the grouping condition(s) you intend to use, and by using more group bands you can give the appearance of a master-detail report. The report engine will NOT sort a table or query for you. If you want to use grouping on a table it must be indexed the same as the grouping criteria.
    Therefore the underlying data tables indexes and connections become very important and you must cnnnect the frdbdataset's dataset property correctly.
    regards ;)
