Print empty lines

Hi,

How do you force aware to print a fixed number of rows in a report? Say my query returned only 5 rows of data, BUT I still want the extra 7 empty lines to be printed.

If the numbers in your example are close to, or are your actual requirements, then one way is to create an object to hold the 7 data objects and rather than place a recurring item in the detail band, explicitly place row 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... You will need a process to populate the 7 objects on the fly, but it will certainly work. The object holding the 7 objects is just one object with attributes for item1FirstName, Item2FirstName, something like that.

Thanks Kingsley, works like a charm!
