  Attached is the screen shot. This is a simplified version (although not by much) of my report that shows the problem. The report is set up with 4 columns, which is why the band looks so narrow.

  are you saying you only have 1 memoview in the column.
  Please when i ask for a screen shot do not sub something else
  I am looking for obvious errors.

  Yes, only one memoview in the column. The report in the screen shot has the problem. As part of my own debugging, I reduced my original report to the simplest version that still demonstrates the problem. The screen shot shows that simplest version and that version *does* have the problem.
  
  As I said in my original post, this memoview sometimes has a large amount of text spanning several pages, and the problem only happens with the record that then follows the record with the large amount of text. Everything else seems to shift correctly.

  Save the output to an fp3 file and post or email it to me.

  The forum wouldn't let me post the FP3 file so I emailed it to you.
  
  Thanks.

  Try to set memo's ShiftMode to smWhenOverlapped
  And attach your report template (fr3) here

  Thanks for looking at it but your report is not the same as mine. You don't have a memoview field with a text value so large that it spans multiple pages. That's when I have the problem.
  
  Use the following code to populate a TStringList:

  var
    sTemp:  String;
    iIndex: Integer;
  begin
    fList.Add('Record 1: [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], ' +
        '[b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b]');
    sTemp := '';
    for iIndex := 1 to 2000 do
      sTemp := sTemp + '[b]QU12345[/b], ';
    sTemp := sTemp + 'QU99999';
    sTemp := 'Record 2: ' + sTemp;
    fList.Add(sTemp);
    fList.Add('Record 3: [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], ' +
        '[b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b]');
    fList.Add('Record 4: [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], ' +
        '[b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b], [b]QU22222[/b]');
  

  Change your report to use a TfrxUserDataSet and setup the relevant events for the report to use the TStringList. You will see that the beginning of "Record 3" overlaps the end of "Record 2".
  
  I know this example looks artificial, but I can assure you we have real data that looks something like this.
  
  Thanks.
